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.


Like I said, drool on you dumb ****..

Well bless your little heart. Black voters do appreciate you standing up
for their rights. Which days and hours make it easier for blacks to vote?



You and flajim are like braindead reference book covers, with nothing
but blank pages in between.


How can you possibly say something like that. Both those individuals
have got you pegged perfectly.

Liar, braggart, narcissist, cowardly pussy...and the list goes on!


Your two buddies, Scotty and FlaJim...the only thing they have pegged
are their brains' speedometers, and they are pegged at zero. It's good
the three of you found each other and are now butt buddies.

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:

Here's the postcard you can mail in to register to vote. Block six asks
for an "ID" number which could be a driver's license or Social Security
number.

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. If you can't figure it out a third party
can assist you.

There's a state in this country that apparently "misplaced" 40,000 voter
registrations. Gosh, is it a state with a GOP governor?

I just posted an image of the postcard form anyone can use to register
to vote by mail. There are no documents required. Not even a driver's
license or social security number. No visits to the registrar's office.

All you have to do is swear that you are a citizen and are 18 years of
age or older and provide a mailing address.

You don't even need to be literate. In the space for your signature it
says to sign your full name or "make your mark".

78% of the people in the country use the internet according to government
report. Eliminate young children and most everyone has access. And with
Community Organizers paid for by the taxpayers, no reason to have an excuse
other than laziness to not be registered if entitled to be registered.
