In my district in MA it's still Pen and Paper voting. Each district/state controls its own voting process. So while I can watch the aftermath carefully I've really no right to "protest" another districts use of whatever machines they want.
Personally I'm all for country-wide consistency in, at least, Federal elections. But that's just not going to happen. As for the broader issue of fraud I don't think it has anything to do with the machines. Both parties have lower forms of life in them that do this. Throw away registrations, call voters with incorrect information about their polling place or times and misrepresent the other party. It's vile, sickening and should be prosecuted more often (I believe that federal election fixing is considered treason) but it's definitely not a solely Republican issue.

Why are the exit polls so wrong in Florida? Heh heh. You know what I don't understand? Where were both of you when they were getting those electronic voting machines? I know that it was in the news more than once. Did any of you request more information from their representatives? Did you write in and let your voice be heard? Did you try to organise some sort of resistance against the voting machines? And if not, then you know quite well how Bush was voted in, even if so many people supposedly didn't want him there. Because the party you supported/wanted to vote for didn't do enough either. They just..'assumed' that American people would do the right thing. They 'assumed' that people would realise the lies and the deceit that they were fed and vote against that. What they should have assumed, is that the IQ of the average american isn't over 100, so they should have assumed that they would have to work a lot harder to get the message across. They didn't do it right. The 'gun toting' 'zealots' 'fanatics' and 'maniacs' are just dumb,single minded and passionate enough to fight for what they want, and darn well let their voice be heard.They didn't want no darn faggots getting married, and they made sure they put a candidate in office who wouldn't let no faggots get married. They didn't want no body killing no babies because the good lord says it's wrong, so they made sure that they voted for that. And now that Bush is back in office these 'good' 'intelligent' people want to leave America. It's amusing on both sides of the equation. To me as an outsider looking in, it's very clear how and why bush was re-elected.And so far all I've heard post election suggests that in 2008, a Republican will be President again. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: dana tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] yes. Investigation not litigation at this point, as the Democratic candidate has conceded. Therefore it doesn't matter who won the vote But I think we need more safeguards than this in the next election. Also, Bernalillo County here is a poster child for why the strategy of requesting an absentee ballot to create a paper trail does not work Dana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:134531 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
