DIEBOLD ELECTRONIC MACHINES MALFUNCTION, VOTE FOR OTHER CANDIDATE
(Decatur) After one hour of voting, the McKinney campaign has received numerous calls that the voting machines are malfunctioning. Voters casting votes for McKinney are reportedly having their votes switched by the machines for Hank Johnson. This is not a new problem with Diebold machines. Lawyers for the campaign have been alerted and said that If this situation is not corrected, Cynthia McKinney for Congress will be forced to take additional measures.
A McKinney representative confirmed for me that these reports have been coming in all morning. By every account, votes for Congresswoman McKinney have "morphed" into votes for Johnson. So far, nobody has heard one anecdotal report of an intended vote for Johnson turning into a vote for McKinney.

Odd how that happens, eh...?

I encourage you to tell everyone you know what is going on. We need to shed as much light on this situation as we possibly can, as fast as we can

3. the bush blue print for stealing elections has programmed the machines

to do just what they are doing--switching votes to the person they want installed in their fascist/dictatorial regime.

Voters filling out their ballots at Roberts Middle School in Jonesboro.

Most voters got in and out of their polling places within minutes
Tuesday as heat, apathy and frustration with negative campaigns
kept a lot of voters away.
Only nine of the state's 3,000 voting precincts experienced problems
serious enough to prompt election officials to keep the polls
open beyond the closing time...

Some voters still weren't sold on either electronic check in or
touch screen voting. “I don’t like that I don't get a printout
of the way I voted so i can verify. I'd like some sort of receipt,”
said voter Josh Goldblatt...

Georgia election officials gave high marks to a new electronic system
used for the first time to check in voters at polling places.
A handful of glitches associated with the electronic poll books --
a computerized check-in system that replaced paper lists of voters
that poll workers used in the past -- also were chalked up as
poll-worker error. The new devices allow poll workers to instantly
verify that voters are registered and at the correct polling place
and immediately tell the workers which ballot the voters should receive...

*And of course they blame the poll workers, but how about the fact
that these machines shouldn't be so stinkin complicated?

*And since poll workers make mistakes, why no paper ballot?
