1. we just lost k20 polling places in our county

I don't even have a polling place and am to vote absentee. I'm in Mendocino county California.

2. I call it the deprecinctification of America.

And it's happening largely to serve DRE's, not voters.

It's also a good way to reduce the number of polling places you have to make wheel-chair accessible.How does this help people with disabilities?

3. Besides the loss of access to the disabled

it also serves to limit the auditability of elections. :(

4. I think that we're going to see long lines

at the polling place in one of the towns in our area. They are sending 2000 new people to a place where about 4000 vote already. Small parking lot, very little parking. I think you're right that they are buying these machines at an incredible cost to us, while screwing us out of our votes.

5. Exactly. Remember the lines in OH? Voters were so upset

they rioted at the statehouse.

8. I keep reading about deprecintification. It seems to be

a movement.

These guys will try ANYTHING. It's like Letterman's game, "Will it Float?"

6. America is not a Democracy. n/t

7. Shit like this scares me.
