Is it true? only two voting machines in Louisiana?

[WillieW]

On the tail end of a news broadcast I heard that there were only two voting machines. I did not hear in which town this is happening. But in Louisiana of all places? Does anyone else here has an update or more information on this?

4. As I said - I don't know in which town this is happening. I asked for more information.

8. From the OP

"I did not hear in which town this is happening."

That would seem to indicate that there is a town in which there are only two voting machines. In a small town, that might be right - particularly if they are optical scan machines.

5. I'm sure there are many towns with only one or two voting machines allocated to them for elections

in Louisiana. If you have a town of 300 or 200 people, how many machines do you think they need? And remember some of the 300 to 200 are going to be kids and some of the adults aren't going to vote.

7. I'm trying to get more info, but I think there's only one telephone in Louisiana.

The line is busy.

10. Are you tryng to be sarcastic?

[Ellipsis]

15. Nah... it just one big party line.

You should see them fight over the one extension cord for electricity.

14. Do you have access to the internet, both of them? I'm pretty sure you could look that up

on at least one internet.
