It's nice that Republicans are finally admitting to voter suppression.

It's nice that you finally admit you were wrong about Walker being recalled and indicted.

How are those Walker indictments coming, Chris?

Got any links to the filings?

The trial for Walker's aide begins Sept 9th.

Thanks for asking.

So no indictments on Walker, just your usual guilt by association bullshit?

Thanks for playing.

A top Pennsylvania Republican’s remark this weekend that the state’s new voter ID law would help Mitt Romney win the state has reignited a debate over whether the law is intended to curb fraud, as Republicans say, or to depress Democratic turnout, as Democrats charge.

The remark was made by Mike Turzai, the state’s House majority leader, when he spoke over the weekend to a meeting of the Republican State Committee and ticked off a number of recent conservative achievements by Pennsylvania’s Republican-led legislature.

“Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done,” he said, according to a report on PoliticsPA.com, a Web site that covers political news.

Does it physically hurt to be this stoopid? No, seriously. Does it hurt or does the lack of intelligence dull the pain?

If voting was REALLY important to someone, they'd get an ID to do so.

If you don't take the effort to get one, too bad, so sad. They're not difficult to obtain...

So how did Madison WI have more 20% more votes than Registrations?

You have 70+ year old ladies who can't even set the clocks on their microwaves operating electronic voting machines, that's why.

The problems with these machines are non-partisan.

That's the most idiotic response I've seen in days. I used to think you might be a serious poster.

I have been observing this problem for over a decade. And I posted the evidence here just a week or so ago.

Stand by...

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence".


Let me show you incompetence:

There are no national standards for training. Most training is insufficient to cover the material needed to effectively do this job. Moreover, modern elections utilize new forms of technology like computers and touch screens, which is often a difficult adjustment for long time poll workers with limited training or interaction with new technology. The 2008 primary elections in Washington State and Chicago, Illinois provide classic examples of poll worker issues. In Washington, voters were left waiting hours as poll workers hid electronic voting machines because they did not like the touch-screen devices.3 Similarly, in Chicago, poll workers passed out pens meant for e-voting machines. When those instruments made no mark on paper ballots, election workers said the pens were full of invisible ink.4

Poll Workers - Election Protection

On Super Tuesday in Chicago, poll workers passed out pens meant for e-voting machines. When those instruments made no mark on paper ballots, election workers said they were full of invisible ink - an explanation that was upheld by onsite precinct judges. While some of these snafus defy logic, many can be pinned on poor training, experts say. “We're running the most important part of our democracy on the backs of untrained, poorly paid volunteers,” said Lloyd Leonard, who has helped research poll worker issues for the League of Women Voters. “It's not their fault. Funding is not a priority. They aren't paid much. They try real hard. We should all volunteer and help them out.”

These volunteers are too retarded to tell the difference between a stylus and a pen! And this is who we have running our electronic voting machines.

If they can't even handle pens, how competent are they going to be at properly operating the machines?

"Ooooh, look at all the pretty lights!"

In New York City, election officials recently said that data entry errors were partly to blame for incorrect early results on Super Tuesday which showed 80 districts, including some in Harlem, with zero votes for Barack Obama. Those numbers are being updated and won't affect the final tally, said Board of Elections spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez. Electronic voting machines have worsened the burden on poll workers, whose average age is 72. Touted as an antidote to the election meltdown of 2000, many states welcomed the new technology and spent millions buying its products. Then problems arose with elderly poll workers who had difficulty operating the ATM-like units. Problems also occurred with the machines themselves, which malfunctioned, switched votes and mysteriously shut down in cases reported across the country. Several states this year, including delegate-rich California, changed their primaries to paper contests.
