Lever voting machines, trusting the outcome - those were the days |
|
When I heard that CT still had lever machines I knew that I didn't have to worry about election vote counting fraud - I grew up on those babies and I do trust them - it was such a pleasure. Too bad it won't be like that in November.
Now it turns out that the exit polls matched the results - STUNNED I say STUNNED. Someone on Sam Sedar's show said last night said exit polls are not used to determine the results - but to find out why people voted the way they did - well my friends that is BS - exit polls have been accurately predicting elections here and around the world for years - that is until 2004 - we need exit polling or parallel elections in order to monitor the activity of the cheaters
All that said WAY TO GO CT - great voting machines and GREAT VOTERS!!!! Too bad Holy Joe has no respect for your decision.

1. Sniff, Sniff, I want the old lever machines back |
|
I used to feel real empowered pulling the lever and the curtain rolling back, back then I had a vote, now all I have is a chance to make a fool of myself.

6. Okay, there was probably some padded votes |
|
somewhere, probably with absentee ballots, but at least it reflected the majority opinion, I believe Kerry beat Bush probably 51% to 47% and it was manipulated into a win.

2. Exit polls don't work in elections with computer voting. |

They also don't work in elections featuring a member of the Bush Crime Family.
Jeez! Everybody knows that.
Move on. There's no problem here.

I'm sad and angry that they will be replaced, either in November or in time for '08. Either way, ICK.
