WV Voters Say Machines Are Switching Votes

An anonymous reader writes "Three Putnam County voters say electronic voting machines changed their votes from Democrats to Republicans when they cast early ballots last week. This is the second West Virginia county where voters have reported this problem. Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for 'Barack Obama' kept flipping to 'John McCain.'"

    That's because computers can't tell the difference. Terrorcrat 1 or terrorcrat 2 makes no difference to the voting machine. Losses abound either way.

    Yes, seriously. Just recall Bill Clinton's jockeying to dodge baseless Republican witch hunts left and right...

    Fixed that, too. Things to keep in mind:

    1) Republicans investigated and re-investigated everything from White Water to Vince Foster.
    2) They came up with jack squat.
    3) They finally had to settle on a manufactured perjury charge (which Clinton didn't even do)
    4) The worst thing they could pin on him was a manufactured perjury charge.

    Let's set Ken Starr on your ass with a $60 million+ budget to destroy your life and see how you you look, mmmkay? Not to mention the enormous hypocrisy over throwing Probable Cause and "innocent until proven guilty" out the window for Clinton, yet we know for a fact that Bush has broken laws, treaties, and the Constitution.

    I see. Therefore, we should disqualify Obama as Commander in Chief as well because he never served in the military.

    I suppose you could call failing your mission and spending the whole war as a POW "service". I would call it disgrace.
