I just voted Ron Paul :) it was easy you can do it too!

3) This is where things get sketchy. After you fill out your ballot you bring it to a machine. You feed the ballot into machine. How do I know it counted my vote correctly?? I don't and never will.
Did they keep the ballot?
If so then after today you can ask for a recount. You need to find out how that is done and who can ask, but it needs to be done.
How many votes do you think they would have to recount?
 
I just called a good friend in NH and BEGGED him to vote in the primary. I hope he isn't still sore at me for sitting out his Deaniac parties, though :) My folks are in NH and they are voting RP, but of course most of their upper middle class professional liberal friends are voting Obama or Ms. Pants Suit. :(
 
Everyone is going dem. There were only a handful of people on the Rep list and about a full page of dems at my polling place.

GOP CAN NOT WIN if THEY RUN ON PRO WAR. period.

That's great if they all vote dem, because Ron Paul supporters are to a large extent totally committed to him. We can worry about the democrats if we win the domination, for right now, every vote for a dem is one less for Mccain! (well, or Paul, but hopefully not!)

yea I think that sword cuts both ways unfortunately. Although I do fully support any McCain --> Obama changes :)
 
At least with the optical ballots the ballots are still there for a hand recount. There is no way to check the results on electronic machines.

Given the practicalities of modern elections (i.e. need to count lots of votes quickly) the optical scan ballots are the best compromise. They give immediate counts on election day, but can be counted by hand if there is any indication of vote tampering. They would be even better if there were automatic recounts in randomly selected precincts (sort of like unannounced random drug tests in professional sports to deter cheating).

I think that is a good proposal.
 
Any heavy vote towards Dem is going to hurt us badly because all we're left with is committed RP supporters and bitter-ender neocons.

...and what's sad is that they'll still get war if they vote Dem. A CFR candidate is still a CFR candidate.
 
What about exit polling?

Is no one doing exit polling. That is your protection.

League of Women Voters used to do this.
 
This makes me very sad...this is why our country is doomed...the dumbing down has worked on most people...

Passport applications, already at record levels, are really going to spike tomorrow if Obama and McCain win.
 
And I often wonder why they really want a double fence along the boarders. are we keeping people out or in?
