So ..... Sparkly and I went down to the polling place around noon .... [View All]

[Stinky The Clown]

.... and we cast our 'votes of faith' to the gods of Maryland's 100% Diebold/100% paperless/100% no-reciept Diebold machines.

Yes, Maryland My Maryland has the fuckers. Endorsed by the Democrats in our state. Purchased by the Democrats in our state. The recent 'paper reciept bill' which passed our state House, never came out of our state Senate committee. Our neoNazi Republican governor opposes these machines.

Stinky being Stinky, after making snide remarks and asking the poll workers if they had faith in the sanctity of the vote, after snarkily asking for my receipt, after asking how they would be doing a recount, I went up to the League of Women Voters poll observers and asked if I could 'register a comment of concern'.

Seems they've been getting similar comments all day. The woman also became pretty defensive, asking if I knew *their* position on the machines (paper receipts). I asked her how they'd do recounts with just voter receipts. She said she'd note my comment.

(Some of you may note that this carping seems counter to some other statements I've made about vote count cheating. It isn't. It **all** needs to be challenged.)

By the way, for the first time in a long time, Sparkly and I cancelled out more than a few of our choices by voting quite differently.
