3. oh that is priceless!

that ties (in my book) with the president of Diebold sending the letter saying he would 'deliver the election' to Chimpy in '04.

4. Wasn't 144,000

The same amount in similar glitches in some Texas districts I
think in 2002?  Seems like I remember hearing a story about
that.

5. It's ok, it's only a "glitch."

"I'm assuming the glitch was in the software."

...and I'm assuming this means Bush/Cheney stage an amazing turnaround in the final days of the campaign and defeat the Democratic challenger who had led in the polls until the last minute Bush/Cheney surge. All with a little help from computer "glitches" we'll never hear about.

6. Somebody should send this to CBS since one of their

reporters just called BBV a conspiracy theory.

10. Its not a " Glitch" its screwing with one of most basic rights!

It really amazes me how the mainstream media is not takeing the electronic voting " glitchs" more seriously..This is our basic rights here and there are people who want nothing more han just to win at any cost for cooked means ( I.E. Bush and his buddys ripping off the U.S.A. right now )

13. This is just the tip of the iceberg

Only those egregious, "over-the-top" situations such as the one cited here get any attention. I'm sure that a lot of the manipulation will be very small. Small enough to escape detection, yet large enough to sway the vote the way they want it to go.

I have totally lost faith in voting in this country. It's shocking to me that we hear NOTHING coming from our elected officials about this, except for Rush Holt's bill in the House. BTW, have the Republicons still bottled up that bill?

Why can't any of the Democratic contenders latch onto this issue and hammer it??
