123. Whoa!
They didn't tell people they wanted to give minority democratic neighborhoods only one machine for 300 to 1200 people and up!

Also, people in more than one state tried to fight it, including New Jersey, who lost (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/19/nyregion/19voting.html?ex=1101704400&en=44df960d49c0b17a&ei=5070), and California, who almost one (allowing paper ballots for people who didn't trust the machines).

What happens when they go to recount Ohio, and the counters wonder how they can count vapor? The Supreme Court told Al Gore that he couldn't recount the votes unless he would count ALL of the votes, because Gore wanted to use different standards to count the precincts in question. You simply cannot count vapor from machines with unaudited source code and no paper trails using the same standards that you use to count original paper ballots. Is that one rule for the Republicans and another rule for the little people? THAT is a violation of equal protection! And they thrust it upon us whether we wanted it or not.
