Part III- Scamming the vote.
I have to admit, Voter Fraud is intriguing. Do I believe it? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But I believe 100% in voter manipulation.

1. Machines that register a "Republican" vote when a Democratic vote was made.
Someone pointed out recently that this issue favors Republicans- and asked why we don't hear someone who voted Republican and when they went to review their vote, a Democrat was selected.

2. Stories of Republican Lawyers/Poll watchers challenging voters. They go to a heavily favored Democratic precinct just to challenge voters. Possibly causing delays and voter disenfranchising. "Every Vote Counts" but to Republicans, it only counts when it is for them. Many of the rules and regulations were created to keep people from voting more than once or voting at the wrong precinct. What these people are doing is not against the law... however, they are stretching the "rules". The manipulation of these rules for political gain needs to be outlawed, plain and simple. In fact, since I just moved to this area less than a year ago, I'm making sure I bring a Utility Bill that is under my name and my wifes name. If I get challeged, I'm going to ask for names and throw my proof in their face.

3. Flip/Flop & Outright Lies- "It was never about 'stay the course'" - "Things are going great in Iraq" - How many Republican TV Ads are out there that are just out and out BS- like most voters were born yesterday. I can do without the dirty politics but I guess it wouldn't be politics without them. The racist ones have angered me the most. It's 2006 not 1956. Again, if someone is going to use racism as an issue, do we really want that person in Congress?

4. Errors in machine counts- No Paper Trail... My biggest pet peave is hearing machines need to be re-calibrated. The touch screen at my bank doesn't need to be re-calibrated. I don't press $20 and get $100 ...and sometimes these are DieBold machines! I have no issue with my Pocket PC or my laptop touch pad needing re-calibrationd. My Joystick for my computer only needed to be Calibrated once and I have had no issues with it what-so-ever.

The list can go on and on- feel free to add your own points.
