Has anyone heard of possible 'problems' with voting machines again?
I believe this is around the time they start in with their games

I believe after the election you will hear many stories, some true some false, about voting machine accuracy and so on.

There has always been problems. There will be problems this year as well. There will be problems in the future. Is this your first election?

There's a "5000 lawyers" thread about protection in Florida, headed by one of the attorneys who was involved in trying to clean up the Bush-Gore mess there in 2000 - also I saw somewhere online that the Justice Department is sending representatives to 23 states.

And - the National Guard and the Army are standing by

But who knows.

I wish it was my first election, as it would make me much younger. I meant that I think there will be many mnore problems than in past elections.

I've actually been hearing some things all along,including people who actually worked on the machines and miscounted votes in prior elections.
All I know is this sounds like the same smokescreen they've been using to get who they want in office while making it look legit to the voters

We are going to hear so many stories. It will be difficult to tell the fact from the fiction.

isn't that why they had early voting? so no one could claim they felt disenfranchised? If they have problems with machines, why not just use the old punch card or fill-in the bubble? Oh, that's right, that was tried in Florida and it was too difficult for some people to figure out. Hmmm...I wonder if they should be voting if they couldn't even manage that?

West Virginia's been having some problems. Those are the only ones of which I've heard so far - you can see theirs on youtube!
