Feeney's "obsession" with voting machines
Always the obvious is what you tend to ignore.

This is Tom Feeney telling us that "all is working fine in Florida..."

1. This line is priceless
In recent months, several lawsuits have been filed challenging the paperless
electronic voting systems used by 15 Florida counties. I am disturbed that
high-profile critics have spent so little time learning the facts from
Florida's elections leaders. Instead, the progress our state has made in
election reform is being ignored and has resulted in a waste of our state's
valuable time and resources by undermining voter confidence.

What a hack.

I was going through some old articles that I clipped from before the election and ran into a NYT article about the GOP crying about Dems intimidating *them*. Anyway, the last paragraph is:

"A group of 50 Republicans in the House led by Representative Tom Feeney of Florida sent a letter on Oct. 7 to Attorney General John Ashcroft suggesting the existence of "a plan to intimidate volunteers who were supporting their candidate" and requesting an investigation."

3. He seems to have said this twice:
"Specifically, I am convinced that the touch-screen machines being used in 15 Florida counties are reliable and accurate and eliminate questions about voter intent.

I encourage the critics to abandon their obsession with undermining voter confidence in Florida. I invite them to join me in working with our elected officials to continue improving our elections processes. Instead of trading barbs and getting mired in legal challenges, let us get to the task at hand."

5. is is just me, or does anyone else think that the US Congress . . .
consists of about 95% slimeballs? . . . okay, maybe 90% . . . but that's as low as I'll go . . .

7. HA HA HA HA He says, "To suggest that...
we cannot have a credible and accurate election without
printers is simply untrue (true). I applaud Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood and
our 67 county elections officials who have worked tirelessly at their difficult
task (of stealing the election), well prepared for each election day."
