Voting glitch already started in Sarasota
No surprise here.

Voting glitch prompts warning
By TODD RUGER

SARASOTA COUNTY -- Poll workers are to remind every voter to look out for the 13th Congressional District race on the electronic ballot after at least four people complained that their initial votes for Democrat Christine Jennings weren't recorded.

Nov 7, 2006- Ground Hog Day


It's like every election cycle we wake up, and it's 2k all over again.. the "players" are the same...some have a few more gray hairs, and a few more pounds.

We have both Bushes, we still have James baker, Karl Rove, and all the other republican minions.

We are still talking about "glitches".. Now there's a cute word.

Glitch.. sounds so innocent..like a muffled burp or a toddler-fart.

Glitches are responsible for so much of the drama we have all endured for 6 years now. Ultimately they are responsible for the Supreme Court we have (Would Al Gore have chosen Roberts & Alito?)

By using the term glitch..and other innocuous euphemisms for INACCURACY and UNACCOUNTABILITY, we have provided the very method necessary for massive election fraud to occur. I said ELECTION fraud..not "voter" fraud.

Our old friend Ann Ecdotal and her beer-drinking, cigarette smoking, or dead relatives always resurface every election, but those few "voters" in a few "specially selected' locations could NEVER...EVER do harm in our electoral process like our new friend "Glitchie".

Glitchie, who just happens to reside INSIDE the equipment we vote on, or inside the machines that our votes are counted with, is a sneaky little devil. he only shows himself occasionally, and since he's just "so darned cute, and innocent-looking", people just excuse his outrageous behavior.

Media gives Glitchie a pass too, because most people do not understand how computers "work".

We all have the darned things, and we flip the switch and they let us play games, write letters, check email..even make phone calls. How COULD these benevolent machines betray us?

We have been conditioned to think of them as friends..Our banks use them..our doctors use them..our schools use them..

Why NOT vote with them?

Because little Glitchie who deletes your email to your Mom is just the simpleminded cousin of Election Glitchie.

Election Glitchie is responsible for seating the wrong people in DC, and once there, those people can (and do) do serious International damage..

Where is Bill Murray when you need him ??

6. This is predicted to be a VERY close race
Polls show the Democrat Jennings leading by 2 or 3 percent.
