Republican Illinois state House candidate Jim Moynihan was taken aback
Monday when he intended to cast a vote for himself and the touch-screen
voting machine instead cast a vote for a Democrat.

“While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I tried to
cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,”
Moynihan told the Illinois Review. “You could imagine my surprise as the
same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a
Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”

Accordingly his faith in the balloting system of Cook County has been
shaken, the Illinois Review reported.

While using the machine, Moynihan voted in various races on the ballot
and noticed that whenever he voted for a Republican the machine
registered a vote for the Democrat opponent. He alerted the election
judge and demonstrated the error. Eventually, Moynihan was allowed to
vote for himself and other Republicans.

“Clearly, I am concerned that citizens will be unable to vote for the
candidate of their choice, especially if they are in a hurry and do not
double check their ballot,” Moynihan said. “I cannot say whether or not
this was intentional, but Cook County voters deserve better and should
not have their right to vote suppressed.”


The liberals will say the voters right to vote was not suppressed.
Hell, they all got to vote, didn't they. Suppression is when the
voters are asked for an ID. *That's* suppression.


LOL!



Suppression is when Republicans make it impossible for many qualified
voters to vote.
