Rethugs bitch about touchscreen machines, get asses kicked in V A

[John_H]

After getting the shit kicked out of them in Northern Virginia the Rethugs are vowing to "fix" the problem with BBV machines. The machines were a train wreck--crashing, modems on the blink, old people getting frustated and leaving--but it was fun to watch Tom Davis bitch about the touch screen machines (controlled by Dems up here)the GOP loves so much.....

4. Yeah, but what did we win?

The privilege of shoveling the shit Bush is throwing at the states instead of money?

2. Aww, that's kinda sweet.

They never think that the shoe will be on the other foot.

18. you don't get it

it's not about using them. It's about abusing them.

8. Knowing how to touch the screen isn't the problem

The problem is what happens to your vote.

Here's one site where you can find out what the controversy is all about, and take it from there: http://blackboxvoting.org/

10. Did you get a paper ballot to verify your selections?

or did your votes dissapear into thin air?

You need to do a little reading on the problems Diebold and the other touch screen vendors have had/caused.

You can start at blackboxvoting.com

[BallaFaseke]

17. Dude there is waterfront propety in Wyoming n/t

[Some Moran]

14. One word...

Diebold.

15. You're starting to look like a fool here.

Go do some reading. Two posters have given you the website.

It isn't that the votes would disappear. It is that they can be tampered with.

16. dude, get educated before you talk. Or else just keep making a fool

of yourself.

Read what people have suggested you read. And get back to us.

Okay?

5. Awww I feel terrible

for them. Maybe they're too stupid to vote. Get over it.

[leftyandproud]

6. WOW..this reminds me of..

some Freeper threads I read back when the seniors in florida couldn't figure out the butterfly ballots..

I say we shouldn't stoop to their level. Everyone is united in dumping the ridiculous touch screens...I don't want to win illegitimately.

[Catch22Dem]

11. I think P. Hood was being funny

You know, throwing the "get over it" thing in their faces.

19. We had no problems except the modem, but..

Republicans hanging around like they were looking for trouble. I think they pre-planned it.

TV News said there was a hearing at Election Board tomorrow. because a few machines had problems and the votes on them were still counted.

The machines are NOT I repeat NOT Diebold.
