Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported

Neovanglist writes "CNN, FOX, and MSNBC are reporting that voting machines in three states (Ohio, Indiana, and Florida) have already been showing issues, both in the machines themselves and in the training of poll attendants, causing many districts to switch to paper ballots." From the article: "Voters put the Republican congressional majority and a multitude of new voting equipment to the test Tuesday in an election that defined the balance of power for the rest of George W. Bush's presidency. Both parties hustled to get their supporters out in high-stakes contests across the country, Democrats appealing one more time for change, and appearing confident the mood was on their side. Republicans conceded nothing as their vaunted get-out-the-vote machine swung into motion." If you're in the U.S., and you haven't voted already, go do it!

    F* them all.
    I hate bush, I hate Kerry.
    I really dislike my representative.
    I think my two options for Gov suck, I have the choice of an anti stem cell gun nut of fscking jerry brown for attorney general?
    I give the fuck up.

    I hereby declaire myself the candidate for every state office under the Violent Libertarian Party, where there are a minimum of laws, and one law per vote. None of this bullshit riders on "must-pass" bills.

    If you haven't guessed im in Kalifornia, and yes I voted, I voted NO on almost everything, and I voted for the anti stem cell gun loving nut for attorney general, because if Brown gets the office, then family and job or not I'd have to move to Canada.

    > I gave you a definition.

    Wow, such futility: you need to find the REAL definition of "definition" then. You will find out that it is not "whatever I want a word to mean." Fucking neo-con.
