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!
...it's a one party system! That's what Paul Francis says anyway... It's shocking that Florida and Ohio are having problems, HA! Update: Presidential election 2000: Somewhere in Florida votes are still being counted... Yesterday I said YAY! for Open Source Mac and Cheese, today I say YAY! for the population being tricked into the oldest divide and conquer technique in the book! Godspeed Richard Stallman, save us from this country. Maybe trim down the beard a little so the bible thumpers don't think you're a hippie... maybe not though, set a trendy beard thing, maybe we can call it Open Source beard... NOT!
