1. I am so fed up with these f*cking machines!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

Between the legitmate problems and the not-so-legitimate problems, how the hell are we supposed to have a fair and honest election? I can't believe Americans are putting up with this shit!

3. so they were turned away

and not provided with another ballot at the time? They had no contingency plans for glitches and serious hold-ups?

4. They are being told to come back later

5. I don't think

that's good enough. Those who can't make it back should be given a paper ballot on the spot.

6. the law says they have to be provided one. They are only doing that

if people insist.

7. can't admit

that those voting machines are a problem y'know....can't have too many people using a paper ballot due to "glitches" and machine failures. Might be embarassing to somebody.:(
