new meme: republican voting machines

[unblock]

electronic voting machines and computerize vote tabulation machines are henceforth to be referred to as "republican voting machines".

1. Somebody somewhere on DU

posted a quotation from a Republican official:

"Republicans will never give up their voting machines."

I wish I knew where to find it.

2. great idea

like George Lakoff says, we got to frame the debate and take the language.

It would be hard for them to refute that one, and if they did, it would be a little like trying to answer "have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

If they protest and say they aren't republican, that's a demonstrable factual error.

If they protest and say the machines are reliable even though they are all produced by republicans, they have admitted something major and made it an uncontestable fact in public debate, and the public would be more curious about the second half--how reliable are they?
