The Election Day Voting Irregularities Thread (1 Viewer)

Seems newfangled voting machines and AARP-aged pollworkers don't mix...some places the pollworkers don't know how to turn on the machines.

The Nation's Most Irregularious States
Novemer 7, 2006


In Indiana, the brand-new touch-screen voting machines are (shockingly) totally useless and confusing. Because voting is both for and run by old people, no one can even turn them on. Poll workers couldn’t turn on “about half” of Marion Country’s machines.

All of Washington State is apparently under water. Rain and flooding has already left one person dead, and Rain Gods threaten that more carnage will follow should Washingtonians dare to head to the polls.
In Ann Arbor, polls opened five minutes late, almost disenfranchising the one guy in line.

Ohio: Same deal as Indiana. The AP reports that voters rolled their eyes.

Ah, in Washington state, there are no polls to head too, the entire state is vote by mail.
 
The far-left DailKos website has posted MoveOn.org's $250,000 bounty for voter fraud evidence.

With that kind of money at stake, somebody will find something, even if they have to fake it.

Didn't George Soros say he was out of politics?

Don't think that voter suppression and other illegal election tactics will be forgotten after tonight. Document today. Prosecute tomorrow. If crimes have been committed against voters, nobody's getting away with it this time.

To that end, MoveOn.org is offering a $250,000 reward for evidence leading to a felony conviction:

Associated Press


CLEVELAND - Sixteen polling locations where earlier voting machine problems caused delays and where waits were an hour or more must stay open an extra 90 minutes, a federal judge ruled late Tuesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Dan A. Polster made the ruling after the Ohio Democratic Party sued Cuyahoga County in an attempt to get the hours extended beyond the scheduled 7:30 p.m. closing time.

Cuyahoga elections chief Michael Vu said that the board was in process of notifying poll workers to continue operating until 9 p.m.

Is it going to be like this with every election from now on?

Maybe people should just quit voting all together. I mean after all, whoever's side doesn't win is going to say the vote was rigged no matter what.
 
Oh, it's already snowballed:

Judges asked to extend some poll hours as US voters contend with new IDs, machines
Bernard Hibbitts at 5:37 PM ET


[JURIST] Officials in several US states asked judges to extend polling hours in a number of areas Tuesday after problems with new electronic voting machines caused delays and left some voters unable to cast ballots in nationwide mid-term elections. By mid-afternoon, requests had been made in Denver, Colorado, Muncie, Indiana, and Davidson County, Tennessee [CBC report]. Voting machine-related problems were also reported in precincts in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, Florida, Missouri and Texas. The problems, however, seemed scattered, and most observers seemed to agree that they would not compromise the vote.

I can't wait to listen to limbob, that is what my Grand Mother calls him, tomorrow.
 
This is a complete joke. Washington's low tech, balot approach is by far the best. The state mails you a balot, and you sent it back. simple.

When polls opened around the state this morning chaos reigned in many locations.Voters were ready but the new Diebold voting machines were not cooperating. The Edwardsville district, this year located in a trailer at the Hancock County Government Complex, was no exception.
"It was chaos around here for about 15 minutes," said Precinct Manager Henry Cook. "But the lifesavers were the kids from Hancock High School. They got the affidavit system up and no one failed to get a vote in."

Today will be an epic day for talk radio. My boss is in town so I'm going to miss most of it in meetings.
