How will Massachusetts vote?
This question needs to be raised.

Does Massachusetts have Diebold voting machines or similar equipment that can be tampered with?

Because the sudden emergence of polls (automated calls polls, which are notorious for their inaccuracy) claiming the race to be a tie, combined with a small eeked out victory for Mr Scott Brown, would follow the usual pattern of republican 'game-changing'.

That is, first you create the impression that anything is still possible, and then you 'make' it possible by committing an untraceable fraud. Bush 2004, anyone? Bush 2000, anyone?

I'm sorry to do this, but I find the emergence of those two irreliable polls, so close to the election day, suspect.

Your thoughts please.

2. Only ONE poll claims the race to be a tie. All other ones, including Rasmussen,

have Coakley clearly ahead (including internal polls that have been leaked).

We dont have Diebold machines where I live, only optical scan machines, but I cant tell you for the state. However, it is a highly Democratic state, so most officials are Democrats.

3. As far as this MA resident knows there are either the older
pre-electronic voting machines or paper ballots.

Coakley will win. Just because the lil pubbies are jumping up and down saying something is true does not mean that it is true.
