elected Democrats. I encourage it!

Standing in the line to vote in 2012, a teabagger and his wife were convinced the liberals are already hacking the electronic voting machines.

Teabaggers don't want common cause with us, so we shouldn't be agreeable, we should feed their outrage. Tie Democrats and electronic voting machines to each other. The next time a rank-and-file Republican expresses distrust, tell them the electronic voting machines were put in their state by a Democrat Board of Elections and the fix is in.

Everyone knows Progressives are better hackers. It was a 4-channer who broke into Sarah Palins email account.

I don't pretend to be an intellectual especially at progressive forums but this is how we encourage widespread distrust of paperless electronic voting machines.
