POSTED: 6:16 am EDT August 29, 2006

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- A New Smyrna Beach voting equipment inspector was fired after she said she didn't like the new touch-screen voting machines being used for the first time in Volusia County.

Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall fired 76-year-old Drusilla Synal, a poll worker for more than a decade, for making the derogatory remarks as she cast her ballot during an early voting session last week.

McFall said Synal told everyone in the polling place that she disliked the touch-screen voting machines because they don't leave a paper trail.

A precinct manager asked her to leave. McFall said Synal was rude and loud. McFall called her the next day and fired her.

1. And People Wonder Why I Say We're Completely Fucked.

Let's face it, there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY or FREE SPEECH left. Sure, you can speak your mind, but you'll be taken care of and silenced in the end.

There was another thread asking why someone in the media doesn't tell King george off to his face I'll tell you why....because they like their jobs. Jobs they would not have tomorrow if they criticize Her Fuhrer today.
