When you can go off the deep end looney-tunes now? DU: GOD DAMN THEM ALL: THEY ARE STEALING IT NOW! And of course there’s all the predictable nonsense about Diebold, electronic voting machines, etc., like this:

The problem is, voting machines make it possible to fraud an entire election.

Problem is, some conservatives are jumping on the “evil electronic voting machines” bandwagon. And the thing that has never made any sense about it is that boxes of paper ballots have mysteriously “appeared” in election after election (remember when Dino Rossi was ahead of Christine Gregoire in the Washington gubernatorial race until Christine Gregoire’s staff suddenly “found” those boxes of ballots sitting in a closet?) What good is a paper trail — given the ease with which politicians “find” ballots in the most fascinating places?

Folks, take your meds. All of you.

  1. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the electronic voting idea originally a Democratic push?

    And isn’t it ironic that the good citizens of Dade County are once again failing to understand how to use *any* sort of voting equipment.

    Ballot fraud, and getting away with it, is nothing new. Machines make it quicker, easier, and more secure. But given that the most massive insults to democracy are encoded in state election law, and happen before the ballot is set, I don’t worry overly much about “counting errors”.

    As for the DUmmies, notice they’re panicing about Repuke states? It’s beyond them to conceive that, just maybe, the conservatives who were going to punish the Repukes for their fecklessness are getting cold feet.
