The shakedown is already happening! (GRRRR!)
Voters in Denver are getting royaly screwed over, those blasted Diebold machines already are showing malfunctions, and where is this I am hearing voters are getting harassing phone calls? I guess I am edgy but I can already see that the Neocon spin and grind going to work. Now, the judge in Denver County will not extend the voting deadline. I hope these people in Denver are getting mad as hell. How much of this crap are people are going to take?

I am beginning to have a bad feeling about this.

1. How can he/she not extend the deadline. It's such a brain dead decision!
If voting is interrupted for a substantial amount of time, why wouldn't you want to make that time up by staying open later? What harm is caused by staying open? OTOH, what harm is caused by not staying open? Hard to see how one can defend that ruling.

4. Is there a reason why judges can't honor the spirit of elections
and actually give people the opportunity to vote especially with all the snafus? I have never understood how a judge could rule to shut down the process. Fuckers.
