Florida Republican Voters Told to Use Absentee Ballots

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION

You've got to run this image of the GOP flyer calling for the faithful to vote by absentee ballot since the machines have no paper trail. The look on bush's face says it all. "Make sure your vote counts," it states. Logically, that says they've known all along that your vote WON'T count if it's cast by machine.

1. Let's Get The Story Str8

Neither George or Jeb has told the Florida GOP voters to vote absentee. It was the Republican party in Florida that made the mailing and they only sent the flyers out to known Repugs in two sections of Miami.

Since they sent it out and Jeb jumped all over them for it, they have apologized for sending it and are now toeing the party line about how secure the voting machines are. Of course, we know better.

2. But this is a pretty damning condemnation of the machines from the REPUGS

who the machines will favor... I guess they might be thinking a dem might eventually buy the companies who make the machines?

Any scandal about the machines will help people who are against their use.

19. Get a rich Dem benefactor

to do a hostile takeover of deibold, etc. What a GREAT idea!!!

I like it.

:bounce:

5. Why is it so important, all of a sudden, to get stories straight?

eom

3. Is there any way for them to scrap the voting machines...

....before the election?? This is just getting ugly!

[OneBlueSky]

9. umm . . . paper ballots? . . .

seems that Canada does okay with them, and gets their tallies done rather quickly . ..

18. I'm talking about the law

And whether they can change the voting methods before then.

4. OOOOOOh Lordy

what to do? This mornings Palm Beach Post says scanners are no more reliable the BBV. What in the world are Fla. voters to do? Seems someone has realized that hacking can go both ways, maybe?

By the way - supposedly this was not sanctioned by Jebby.

[nodictators]

14. Yeah, Jeb didn't know anything about it.

Besides, it was just all a few mistakes.

You remember, Kathrine Harris mistakenly sent out purge lists which included thousands of non-felon black voters.

And just a month ago, Jeb was caught red-handed with a purge list that had only 61 Hispanic voters proposed for purging, and 22,000 black voters listed as potential purgees.

Seems Jeb's appointed Secretary of State made a big mistake. Yeah!

In Jeb's Florida, all Rethug mistakes benefit Rethug candidates.

6. Well, in that case

everybody should be voting absentee.

Man, doesn't matter if it was only 2 counties. This is a tacit admission by the GOP that they don't believe the voting machines are worth it.

[louis-t]

11. sure, that way they can just

throw away all of the Kerry absentee votes. Either way, Jeb will steal Florida for his braindead demon sibling.

7. I had another reaction to it when I heard it

I thought maybe they wanted the republicans to vote absentee so that when it comes time to pull the great fraud, it won't be at the machine level. They can claim that a billion and a half abseentee ballots came in and they were all for George!!!!

[LiberalBushFan]

8. My theory

When they steal Florida in November and everyone complains that the e-voting was fucked up, they want to be able to say "but Bush's absentee percentage is consistent with the electronic results."

On edit: Apparently the above poster came up with that thoery at the exact same time.

12. Every Vote Counts

As long as it's for Bush. :mad:

[proud patriot]

13. Caught with their hand in the cookie jar

Wheee !

[LTR]

15. You can't trust that Republican company Diebold

They plan on hijacking the voting machines to tilt Democrat.

Okay. :eyes:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Very strange. I wonder if this is blowing smoke so they can pretend

like they care about the integrity of the voting process.

[Generic Other]

17. Pre-emptive move seems to anticipate plan to cheat

Do they plan to lose the electronic votes in key Democratic counties, and only be able to count the verifiable absentees for Bush?

I smell a big fat Repug rat!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Smells bad, don't it? Maybe ALL should vote absentee in FLA!
