So, I would not know what sort of test we should apply, if we did, to voting ability. There are people who lift themselves up and have a better life for their family than they had. I would hate to discourage that. That is the American Dream.
I happen to think governmental candidates should have a mental exam as well as a physical and they should be done and presented, open for public perusal (for a long time), shortly before they declare their candidacy. No ego maniacs, no morons, no sociopaths. No life threatening disorders that might carry the candidate away shortly. I know, a good liar could pass some of these, but at least it would be covering some bases.
I choose to leave the idealistic, buy the world a Coke stuff in your first dozen paragraphs alone because we're worlds apart on much of it. Oddly enough we're closer than you might think on the remainder.
NOBODY I know wants to deny anyone the "American Dream", it's a great thing. I consider it to be an "American Right" as long as one without the means is willing to work for such. Those born with the means made out, it's not our right to steal it from them.
I have no problems with your qualifying the candidates. Id probably take some of it a step further, steps you wouldn't like in all probability.
It does- the Wells Fargo ATMs failed for me. I had about 5 accts and it kept selecting the account below the button that I was selecting.
I told Wells Fargo that they should have an equivalent on the keypad so all I use is the keypad and not the touchscreen.
It's not all about the touchscreen.
"A major electronic voting system vendor has changed its story in an attempt to explain how its machines dropped hundreds of votes in Ohio's March primary elections, saying it was a programming error, not the fault of antivirus software."
last election kerry folded up when issue of cheating came up in florida. not this time.

What "cheating" in Florida?
And I'll ask you the same question I asked goldengrain... Was there "cheating" in the 2006 election when Democrats won control of Congress? Or was that election 100% fair & square?
You link to another internet forum as your source?
And people call Drudge a bad source.
But after following HIS link to a source, it looks like it's a case of voter error or fat fingers. Hundreds of people used the same equipment and they didn't have a problem, Obama's army of lawyers didn't have a problem either.
Looks like you might be grasping for something that just isn't there. At least not in this story.
lol you guys - give it a rest. NM uses paper ballots.
They do not in the whole state. My relatives use electronic machines to vote and have for quite a while now. They happen to live in the southern part of NM.

Why don't you research it, if you are so concerned.
I am looking back at the two elections that the war criminal now in office thinks he won.
I am concerned that the Republicans have gotten a pattern of deception that has worked well for them in the past and that they are obviously trying in this election.

It is a simple question... you think the 2000 and 2004 elections were "rigged." Do you also think the 2006 election was "rigged?" No need for me to research it because I am asking you!

Pres. Clinton sent U.S. troops to more foreign countries without Congressional approval than Bush has. Is Clinton a "war criminal," too?
