There are very few times when someone suggests a new technology that it is not warmly accepted. What, Novocain? Phssst. That’s for sissy, drill away dude. No, really, there were 8 buttons, and you could instantly jump to any song.

Anyway, what’s your view on electronic voting methods?

It's already being held in reserve as the alibi-in-advance if the Republicans win.

I don't have any problem with it. Having said that, I never had any problems using the infamous hanging chad butterfly ballots either. But then again, I'm not a moron.

LOL, in a way I want the democrats to win so we dont have to hear them whine about voter fraud, becasue I assure you, if they win big, any talk of voter fraud will stop. There may be a half assed attepmt to say it still needs an ivestigation, but it will never happen. And if the democrats do win, I would hope the republicans woud keep thier mnouths shut about voter fraud and focus on the real reason they lost

Donna Brazille (sp?) is supposedly saying that a lot of minorities aren't planning on voting because someone (I can't imagine who) planted the idea in their heads that their votes won't be counted. Ooops.

LOL, thats good. Lionel, wasn't it you who pointed out that republicans are not the ones buying or installing the machines in these heavy democratic/minority places anyway? Yet somehow they are to blame ofr all the problems? Since when are republicans in charge of all voting in the country?

The controversy has begun:

Venezuelan company Smartmatic Corp. furnishes some of the voting machines.

Rep.Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said Sunday: "Having a foreign government investing or owning a company in this country that makes voting machines could raise a question about the integrity of the elections."

well, since the democrats are involved I wouldnt be suprised if a foreign communist regime was somehow at play in our elections
