We have those damned electronic voting machines in Maryland, the

I asked the polling "referee" why I should trust these machines
to produce an honest count, and she said, "Well, I feel secure
about them."

To which I responded, "What are your credentials? Who are you?
Why should I trust you?" She really had no answers that were
satisfactory.
Why would you become confrontational with someone who has no
decision making authority? She is a very nice volunteer, who was
laughing at you as soon as you walked away. Even if she agrees
with your assessment, she was laughing at your behavior.
No, she wasn't, because at least five other people around me were
asking her the same questions.

Perhaps you take the voting process lightly. I don't.
She was laughing at your inability to make speak your displeasure
about the voting machines in an effective manner. You asking a poll
volunteer "What are your credentials? Who are you? Why should I
trust you?" makes as much sense as screaming at the moon, both of
them are just as effective in changing the voting process. Perhaps
if you did take the voting process seriously, and really wanted to
make a change, you would realize how completely ineffective your
confrontational behavior is and so something that would make a
difference. My guess is you enjoy the confrontation, and really
don't care if they change the machines.
You assume the woman was a "volunteer." She was not. She introduced
herself as a "supervisor" from the state board of elections, and was
wearing a state ID nameplate. We had some serious problems during
the primaries some weeks ago, and the board of elections caught
hell.

Perhaps you ought to have a few facts on hand before you drool in
here, hey?
Say hello to the new tactics of the Democrats in Election 2006.

sigh
Really? The Republican governor of this state urged voters to obtain
absentee ballots because he had no confidence in the electronic
machines.

Let's see who starts to file the lawsuits.

Oops, the Dems have already filing them in Ohio, even before the voting
sites close at 7:30. ;-)

The FBI is in Virginia, investigating Republican intimidation of voters.



In all my voting life I have never been nor have I ever seen a voter or
voters being intimidated.

This whole voting process now sickens me thanks to your party.
It usually isn't white suburbanites who are the subject of GOP voter
intimidation techniques.


Yeah....sure Harry. It is always the white, black and Hispanic city
dwellers who are always the ones subject to intimidation.

And the cow jumped over the moon...........
