2. I don't think we have those machines in MS.
Certainly not where I voted. I chalk this one up to ignorance more than anything else.

5. Some counties in Misssissippi have had

electronic voting machines for some time now. Probably the counties that have the most registered Democrats.

November 6, 2002

Few voting problems reported at polls
By Theresa Kiely

In Mississippi and across the nation, voting was smooth Tuesday with few glitches reported.

In Hinds County, workers in a few precincts had trouble starting their new electronic voting machines, but the delay amounted to mere minutes, said Connie Cochran, chairwoman of the Hinds County Election Commission.

"We didn't have enough voltage on some of the outlets, but people voted with paper ballots until it got fixed," Cochran said. "Otherwise, it's been the best election day I've ever seen in Mississippi history."

7. Hinds County probably does have the most

registered Democrats. It also voted overwhelmingly for Musgrove. I believe the machines have affected election results in other places, I just don't think they're to blame in this particular election.

On edit: There are no registered Dems or Repubs in MS. We have open primaries down here.

3. Busheviks have plenty of manual disenfranchisement strategies
at their disposal.

Stacking Democratic areas with error-prone voting machines.

Absentee-ballot abuse.

(more...)

One thing is certain these days, if the polls show a dead heat, the Bushevik WILL WIN.

Somewhere on DU (I looked but can't find it) is my nonchalant prediction that, since the polls were showing even that Barbour and the KY guy would win by 7% margins.

In fact, they did just that. KY won by 10%.

I felt as confident as predicting Musharraf a winner in the Pakistani plebiscite or Saddam in his little "election".

No brainer.

4. Don't forget this dirty trick, tom_p...
Are these GOP leaders aware of their dirty tricks?
http://www.thehill.com/marshall/021903.aspx

<snip>

Should high-profile Republican Senators and Representatives be affiliated with a man now being investigated for sabotaging Democratic phone-banks in New Hampshire last election day?

What am I talking about? Let me explain.

As every pol knows, telemarketing is the dark underbelly of modern campaign politics. Not that most phone-bank operators don’t perform legitimate work – polling, get-out-the-vote calls, and campaign messages. But the really nasty stuff
from Dems and Republicans almost always happens by telephone, where low-rent tactics easily slip under the media radar.

Only last election day, one bit of nastiness didn’t quite slip through. Early last November, now-Senator John Sununu (R-NH) was in a tight race with New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen. Over at party headquarters, New Hampshire GOP Executive Director Chuck McGee decided Sununu needed a little more help to get past the finish line. So he called Virginia-based ‘GOP Marketplace’ to
help place what the state party still insists were supposed to be get-out-the-vote calls.

6. "Do the GOP leaders know about their dirty tricks?"
Of course they do. Back when the Bush Crime Family was just a "crew" in the more moderate Nixon Crime Family, they practiced dirty tricks.

They NEVER stopped. Of course now, what Nixon was doing is only a small part of the Bushevik Dirty Tricks Campaign.

And now there is ZERO chance they will ever be investigated, let alone prosecuted.

Why?

“The struggle is a light one now as we are able to employ all the means of the state. Radio and press are at our disposal.”

8. Democratic areas
Stacking Democratic areas with error-prone voting machines.

The federal government, nor Bush run state or local elections, or national elections for that matter.

In these heavy democratic areas democrats run the voting process. Are they in on the scam?

Are the pollsters and all those polled in on it to so the polls prior to the election reflect the "rigged" results on election day?
