It is scary. Voter fraud, election fraud and registration fraud is running rampant this year.
The registration fraud isn't being explained properly, though. Now I'm the first one to say that Acorn is stupid for hiring people to register voters...it should be strictly volunteers doing it because then there wouldn't be any motivation for workers to commit fraud. But after having really looked into the issue not just this election but pouring through old articles I also have to defend Acorn on all these accusations. Acorn, by law, HAS to turn in even the registrations they believe are fraudulent. It's the law. What they do is FLAG every registration that can't be verified. All these fraudulent registrations were handed over to Election officials BY Acorn and Acorn TOLD the Election Officials that those registrations were either fraudulent or at the least, suspicious. Republicans are using this to try to make it look like Obama is trying to cheat, which is NOT true. Election Officials don't want to be bothered with verifying the registrations, and the Republicans are trying to get ALL of the new registrations thrown out, which would disenfranchise LEGITIMATE new voter registrants. The Republicans do this EVERY presidential election to try to stymie Democratic get out the vote efforts. It's been going on for years and years.
Now back to the electronic touch screen machines...they should be outlawed because their calibration goes out of whack too easily. We've pretty much all seen it in grocery and department stores all around the country while trying to pay with a bank card. You hit one button and it selects something on the opposite side of the screen. These voting machines are no different. If we're going to use electronic machines then they need to NOT be touch screen.
Who the hell said it was the Dems? Are you ObamaBots so deluded that you can't see that I am also reporting about Republican fraud? Get you heads out of your, you know where, and see what is right in front of you. Sheeesh!!! All you want to do is to attack before you even know what you are attacking about. Insane is how you are acting.
lol...I don't think people realize that you support a 3rd party candidate.
Where we are going to move, after the election, the state has paper ballots and then they are scanned.
Did the state's congress have to vote on moving to paper from electronic/was it an expensive move? I only know the case of Maryland, from a mention in the Premier Election Solutions wikipedia entry (an extremely disturbing history recounted in there!) - "In April 2007 the Maryland General Assembly voted to replace paperless touchscreen voting machines with paper ballots counted by optical scanners, effective in time for the 2010 general (November) elections. The law, signed by the Governor in May 2007, was made contingent on the provision of funding by no later than April 2008. The Governor included such funding in his proposed budget in January 2008,[25] but the funding was defeated by the state House in July 2008.[26]"
What ever happened to those old fashioned monster voting booths with the levers? I used one in Indiana in the 1988 election. I'd love to go back to those!
Im sure all of you have learned by now the difference between voter registration fraud and vote fraud.
Why would you want to keep pretending you're still ignorant of it?
The ignorant stance would be the one that assumes one side has no effect on the other.
