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.” If this happened in Florida it would be a national story, not something buried on an obscure boating news group. I just watched 2 hours of TV news and didn't see a thing about it. Voter suppression in Republican states is more sophisticated...shut down polling places where students vote, cut back voting hours and days that make it easier for blacks to vote, et cetera. That is all bull****. If you want to vote, request a mail in ballot and you can vote without ever putting your pants on or setting down the bong. There are early voting places all over the county with very flexible hours. It has never been easier to vote in Florida I don't think the mail in ballots even require postage. That is right, postage paid envelope in the package. and once you register for a mail in ballot you have the opportunity to check a box and get a ballot automatically in the mail for every subsequent election, in case you forget there is one. The idea that voting is hard or even obstructed in any way is simply ludicrous. If anything, it is too easy. You're leaving off the other half of voting...registration. Pretty easy to do. Even if you can't do this, a third party can do it for you: http://www.eac.gov/assets/1/Documents/Federal%20Voter%20Registration_6-25-14_ENG.pdf |

If you don't have either, the instructions say to indicate that on the card and your state will assign an ID number. Really isn't very difficult.

Gosh, is it a state with a GOP governor? ... another MSNBC myth? Georgia... Groups Sue Over Unprocessed Voter Registrations October 10, 2014 19:53 pm by Jon Richards 10 comments Groups siding with the New Georgia Project, which says it has obtained voter registration forms for more than 86,000 new voters, filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Brian Kemp and five Georgia counties over some 40,000 forms which it says havent been processed and dont show up in a list of people who are waiting processing. The suit was filed Friday afternoon in Fulton County Superior Court. Politico quotes New Georgia Project leader Stacey Abrams as saying, We hoped litigation would not be necessary, but with early voting beginning next week, eligible Georgians are dangerously close to not being allowed to vote in this election, said state Rep. Stacey Abrams, founder of Third Sector Development, NGPs parent group. All eligible registrants should be processed immediately; provisional voting is not an acceptable option, The Secretary of States office claims it is following the law. In previous statements, Secretary of State Brian Kemp has said that all of the applications have been delivered to the appropriate counties for processing. Advance In Person voting starts on Monday, and continues through Halloween. -- Of lifes simple pleasures, few are more satisfying than being attacked by the right-wing trash in rec.boats. ![]() |

Oh, Georgia doesn't matter. Sure. I get it. It wasn't what we were talking about. Even though the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court has paid off the GOP by weakening the voting rights act, there still have been court cases decided against states with Republican governors who restricted access to registration and voting. Naturally, these restrictions please you righties, because in some states, a huge minority vote would flip them blue. -- Of lifes simple pleasures, few are more satisfying than being attacked by the right-wing trash in rec.boats. ![]() |

A lot of diversion Greg. Like boasting that supposedly right-wing manufactures make voting rigged to vote against the right-wing.
Fantastic logic there. |

I have said it before, whatever they dems are accusing you of, they are doing.. it's all a cover. Turns out Greg pointed out the ones in Harrys' state are actually made by a company owned by a Billary supporter and fund raiser. |

Gosh, is it a state with a GOP governor? ... another MSNBC myth? There's no question that the GOP engages in gerrymandering in order to gain a political advantage in some areas. It may be controversial but it's legal. Voter fraud seems to be more of a Democratic Party thing. It's illegal. |
