Federal Elections Hampered by Machines<\/b><\/p>\n

Federal elections are still hampered by inadequate voting machines, outdated registration and poor training of poll workers despite a 2002 law passed to improve the system, witnesses told a special commission led by former President Carter and former Secretary of State James A. Baker III. <\/p>\n

The system has been improved by the “Help America Vote Act,” but “we’ve still got a ways to go,” Carter said Monday.<\/p><\/div>\n

Understatement of the Year Award goes to Carter!<\/p>\n

Other than that, however, what’s interesting about the article is that the AP got the tenor of the hearing all wrong! But this time, the lazy, inaccuracy of the MSM works out nicely, thank you!<\/p>\n

They didn’t cover (for the most part) the continuous drumbeat all day that morphed Election<\/i> Irregularities\/Fraud into Voter<\/i> Registration Fraud and thus a call for Jim Crow-style Photo ID rules!<\/p>\n

So three cheers — in this case — for a lousy, lazy, MSM who seem to have written their report before the event actually took place! Looks like the phoney-baloney “Election Reform” commission may not have gotten their money’s worth! At least so far. We’re certain the Cybercast News Service<\/a> and the other fake GOP News Services will shortly lend a hand.<\/p>\n
