1. Tennessee Also

We worked our asses off down here to get the TN Voters Confidence Act passed and signed

But corrupt state Election guy swore up and down he couldn't do it in time for 2008

So it goes into action by 2010

4. Because they know this is the LAST presidential election

Once McCain is ensconced in power they can do away with the whole fiction of voting.

5. WTF

I loathe the thought of voting on one of those damn things again. There is just no paper trail. What is so wrong with just letting us use paper ballots this time around and scrapping them NOW??? :rant: *Sigh* Regardless, I am still going to vote.
