3. The AP poll is a joke.
Of course, no one who voted Repub had a problem on a touchscreen.

But what if only 5% of Dem votes were changed from Kerry to Bush?
That would mean that 1 out of 40 polled or 2.5 % would say that there was a problem. That may not seem like much, but...

THAT'S ENOUGH TO STEAL AN ELECTION.

SO MUCH FOR THE AP POLL.

5. an AP story, not an AP poll
the poll was Quinnipiac, and the poll looks much better than the ridiculous story, especially the headline.

4. Why would standing in line for 7 hours be considered a problem
Or being denied provisional ballots, absentee ballots gone missing in the mail, new voters never sent registration cards, inadequate early polling places in poorer neighborhoods.
Why would any of this be considered a problem? How picky can people get?
