13. I do not believe that it makes a bit of difference
if the elections are close or not. If they are electronically flipping votes and there is absolutely no trace of it what possible difference does it make how close the election is. Because we have Democratic leaders who won't touch this issue with a ten foot poll, we have the same with the MSM and "they" have already planted the seed that exit polling is bogus. Also depending on the voting macines and if there is any paper trail - I don't even think it matters if the Dems are running the elections - all someone has to do is hack into the central tabulator and flip the votes or the machines can be programmed before the election - because the election officials in many places don't even have access to the source code.

These machines are BAD BAD BAD the way they are now...we need receipts for our votes and paper trails and the ability to recount by hand every freaking ballot if necessary.

One thing is for damn sure if they do do this again - If November is not a political blood bath for the repunks we'd better all get our asses to the street because if we don't we are screwed. We should have done it in 2000.

I really wish the Dems would pick key Congressional races and run parallel elections and take this threat seriously...
