EvilMonkey Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 http://www.newbernsj.com/articles/machine-...reen-voter.html Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff. “They pushed it twice and the same thing happened,” Laughinghouse said. “That was four times in a row. The fifth time they pushed it and the Republicans came up and I voted.” Holy f**cking s***. We can put a man on the damn moon, but they can't get a voting machine to work right?

EvilMonkey Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 They told me if John McCain was elected the government would hire people to keep information away from the public..... Officials at the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Stability contracted with a small consulting firm that has given nearly $25,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005 (and no money to Republicans) to hire “Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Analysts to support the Disclosure Services, Privacy and Treasury Records.” The firm is currently advertising a job opening for a FOIA analyst with experience in the “Use of FOIA/PA exemptions to withhold information from release to the public” (emphasis mine, and if that link goes down, The Examiner has kept a copy for its records). Sounds like Obama Admin preparing to cover its butt after this midterm election. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/...-105727838.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can put a man on the damn moon, but they can't get a voting machine to work right? Like I said in an earlier thread, this needs to be addressed. Plus, even if it shows you the right ones, you don't know what the software is then doing before putting the data onto that cartridge. There needs to be two paper receipts printed from those machines, one for the voter, the other for audit purposes later, and there then needs to be auditing done randomly across machine types and geography, to check electronic accounts versus paper.

The FOIA isn't nearly as useful as subpoena power for a party in the majority. The FOIA is much more useful by either the press, outside groups, or even a minority party that can't enforce a subpoena (Henry Waxman was a master at that from 2000-2006).

EvilMonkey Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Flipping thru the channels, CNN has Obama talking to votes in Conn. he literally just said "We are funding global Aids, the other side ain't" Now, besides the fact that if the Dems are funding Aids, they should be shut down, wasn't it Bush that donated boatloads of cash to fund global Aids research, NOT Obama? Just askin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 "Funding AIDS" vs. "funding AIDS prevention" poor phrasing by obama. Bush did provide a lot of funding, but there were some dumb "abstinence only education" strings attached IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_genius Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) In CO the Republican nominee for Gov Dan Maes is currently polling below 10%. So what happens if he fails to garner 10% support? http://www.denverpost.com/election2010/ci_...9589?source=pkg If GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes doesn't pull 10 percent of the vote in this year's elections, Republicans will become a minor party. What does that mean for Republicans, besides a little embarrassment? The names of Republican candidates won't be on top of the 2012 ballot alongside the Democrats' names, said Secretary of State Bernie Buescher. They will be positioned along with other third-party candidates, the Libertarians and Green Party members and such. haha Edited October 31, 2010 by mr_genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure its very expensive, but that sounds absurdly high to me. Frankly, I wouldn't doubt it. The security costs have probably exploded in the last decade, and things like the transportation budget (i.e. the air force) was on the order of $100 million/trip a decade ago. Plus overtime costs for the people that must travel with, operating costs for all of the stuff that has to go with the President, and on and on.
