I think we should scrap the whole electronic voting system. No paper trails, can easily be faked, and it could always be open to some cracker somewhere. Every state should accept a PAPER ballet, that are ALL exactly the same, no Butterfly Ballots or whatever Florida used last election. It should be run by a 3rd Party observer, meaning from the EU, or Canada.

Actually, yes, it already has started.
Hear about what's going on in Florida? Or in New Mexico (or is it Nevada?) with the absentee ballots? Or in Ohio?
If shady stuff is going on now, 'when the election hasn't even started,' I can see why they are getting ready to challenge the final vote result after the election. All these people committing voter fraud already should be JAILED.

CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT!
FLORIDA'S COMPUTERS HAVE ALREADY COUNTED THOUSANDS OF VOTES FOR GEORGE W. BUSH
Before one vote was cast in early voting this week in Florida, the new touch-screen computer voting machines of Florida started out with a several-thousand vote lead for George W. Bush. That is, the mechanics of the new digital democracy boxes "spoil" votes at a predictably high rate in African-American precincts, effectively voiding enough votes cast for John Kerry to in a tight race, keep the White House safe from the will of the voters.

To understand the fiasco in progress in Florida, we need to revisit the 2000 model, starting with a lesson from Dick Carlberg, acting elections supervisor in Duval County until this week. "Some voters are strange," Carlberg told me recently. He was attempting to explain why, in the last presidential election, five thousand Duvalians trudged to the polls and, having arrived there, voted for no one for president. Carlberg did concede that, after he ran these punch cards through the counting machines a second time, some partly punched holes shook loose, gaining Al Gore160 votes or so, Bush roughly 80.
"So, if you ran the 'blank' ballots through a few more times, we'd have a different president," I noted. Carlberg, a Republican, answered with a grin.

Maybe someone needs to go and invade you and instill a proper democracy where the people decide who gets in, not the electoral commision...

Hey then we might actually learn the intricate differences between insurgence and resistance.

You all can blame George, Jeb, and the other thugs for the way this is election is turning out right now, if they hadn't pulled the stealing of votes in Florida in 2000, barred voters rights to vote ( the blacks and othe minorities), stopped the voters from voting,............ then this WOULD NOT be happening this Election.

I guess they're smart, since apparently what they thought would happen, has been happening
