There seems to be a ton of voting problems

According to the media.

My question is, why is the media reporting this now? and why didnt they report it in 2004?

1. Their butts are on the line.

2. because it'll be the dems tampering this time....

watch and see... the media will blame the democrats pushing democracy further away. We need the media split up like never before. One outlet owned by one company in one market. That should be it.

4. two years later of a lot being done that no one could see and 1 of

those things was making the people aware of the issue, ergo bringing it to visibility, that media would not do. that is why KERRY COULDNT PROTEST IN 2004 THERE Was not the belief and support from the people. now it is allover the place and majority believe 2004 was stolen. THAT took two years, or 6 if you want to go back to 2000

6. I helped work the polls in Butler PA this morning

We got new evoting machines (touch screen NO paper trail) we made sure after to tell Everyone! who walked in before they cast their vote to be sure to push the blinking red button to cast their votes.

Election officials seemed to leave that small detail out and 3 people that I know of votes were not counted when the next person stepped up to vote.

In 2004 we had punch card.. funny that by 2006 an important election Ricky ass hat managed to get e voting in place in about 80 percent of the state
