More Voting Shenanigans in Florida

stewwy writes "It looks like the the shenanigans have started already, the Register is running a story about the difficulty early voters are having with casting votes for Democrats." From the article: "The touch-screen gizmos seem strangely attracted to Republican candidates. One voter needed assistance from an election official, and even then, needed three tries to convince the machine that he wanted to vote for Democrat Jim Davis in the gubernatorial race, not his Republican opponent Charlie Crist."

You won't find one.

Not because it hasn't happened, it probably has. But because it doesn't fit the Liberal Media Template for reporting on voting machine irregularities. Ever since 2000 with all the "Hanging Chad" crap, and for every election since then, the Template has been "Eeevil Republicans are trying to "steal" the election by rigging the polls!" Then you get unfortunate quotes from the president of Diebold (the company that makes the lion's share of the voting machines) saying that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." in 2003, and the template was set in stone from then on. (Of course, the Diebold president was talking about his campaign and fundraising efforts, but Leftists aren't known for letting the facts stand in the way of a good conspiracy theory.)

So no, you will never see a story about a poor Republican who was somehow "tricked" into voting for Democrats by the eeevil voting machines. It doesn't fit the template, and it won't get reported. Period.

Go ahead and mod me down, but speaking the truth is not trolling. It's just too bad the speech supressors with mod points won't understand that.

It's happened before. I tried to withdraw 40 dollars and ended up voting for Pat Buchanan.
