How To Lose An Election
smooth wombat writes "CNN has posted a story to their site about electronic votes from Miami-Dade County's first widespread use of touchscreen voting machines that were lost due to a computer crash.: 'The malfunction was made public after the Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition, a citizen's group, requested all data from the 2002 gubernatorial primary between Democratic candidates Janet Reno and Bill McBride.' Other groups are challenging a state rule preventing counties that use the machines from conducting manual recounts from them." Reader fatwater adds a link to the New York Times' coverage.
Bullshit. Is that the game we are playing?
>Diebold promised to "deliver electoral votes" to bush.
Prove it. Offer more information or hell, even a resource for your quote. Otherwise your allegation is outlandish and your reasoning false.
KARMA TAG! You're it.
Riiiiiight...blame Republicans for the fact that felons tend to vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
Observers from IRAN/CUBA/CHINA would still be more reliable than observers from the Republican party.

While your joke is kinda funny (except that SCO isn't known for computer crashes), keep in mind that families are merely "races" on the microscale. So impuning one "McBride" with another's bad reputation is something of an ethnic slur. Especially when the name is so clearly of a specific ethnicity. Being funny for the wrong reasons can be worthwhile in private, where you understand the audience and its effect on them. But in public, like in front of thousands of Slashdot strangers, it's not worth indulging.
