077. you almost caused me to spit Earl Grey all over my monitor with that answer.\nI don't think anyone can improve the quality or truth of what you have said, so I'll continue to laugh.

America needs help from NO ONE. \n\nRepublicans didn't complain about election  fraud when they lost elections.  Democrats have been trying to destroy American democracy because they are sore losers. \n\nThey always seem to find a new place that coincidentally comitted election fraud.  First, it was Florida. Then ,it was Ohio. \n\nNo one pays attention to sore losers.

I am certain the election was stolen both times by the low handed illegal tactics of Bush and Company. It was close for sure but stolen never-the-less.\nThe sort of tactics used to steal the elections is exactly the same sort of tactics he is using now to spy on the American people.\nCan't someone somewhere expose this guy for what he is in such a way to show even the religious right the error of their thinking.

There should be an investigative commitee to determinme whether their (politicians) actions are valid and warranted. This way the decision is not left up to the politicians and their so called advisors. Half the time I think that the "intelligence" they "gather" is either scripted, made up , or false. Now watch I get drafted for just writing this. later.

Neither one of the two.\n\nWe are still almost 2 years from the ellection, and a lot can happen between now and then.\n\nRemember, in early 1990, most people had never heard of Bill Clinton.  And in Early 1974, most people have never heard of Jimmy Carter.  Early name recognistion does not mean that is the person who will win the election.

Here is some evidence that justifies your concern:\n\nhttp://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen\nhttp://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2006/1995\nhttp://uscountvotes.org/ucvAnalysis/OH/Ohio-Exit-Polls-2004.pdf\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/views06/0330-22.htm\n\nAs for what to do about it, both paper ballots and transparency of voting machine source code are necessary. \n\nThere are also other ways to steal an election:\nhttp://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/06/06/con06219.html\n\nWith so many different methods of cheating, there is no one way to prevent it. What needs to change is the Us vs Them attitude, to an attitude of doing what's best for all citizens.

Yes, i heard all day today how people were given the conditional ballets because many of the machines were malfunctioning and in other precincts many dems were turned away. I have a feeling that republicans won't want to request a recount after all, cuz they'll realize all the cheating they created and they don't want to be embarrassed when it turns out they suppressed millions of votes, all of them democrats!

Take a camera too, preferably a video camera , so that you can record any irregularities.\n\n"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." Joseph Stalin

Many people are concerned with computerized voting. \n\nThat's why many juristictions are looking at machines with VOTER VERIFIABLE PAPER TRAILS. \n\nVoters are given the opportunity to verify - on paper - that their votes have gone the way they want. Once the ballot is finalized, a barcode is printed as well. A recount can be done by machine (scanning the barcodes) and by hand (reading the names). \n\nAnd, if you're so damned sure about the answer to your question, why are you bothering to ask?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not JEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nE-Gads, man.  I wish voting wasn't rigged, so we could stop that travesty from occurring.  Unfortunately for the common man, we don't have enough pull behind the velvet ropes... :(

It is very disconcerting to hear that many of the new voting machines do not give receipts, or copies to the voters, or to anyone else.  If there is a malfunction or fraud, there will be no way to verify the results and there will be no possibility for a recount.  This may cast a big cloud over the election for voters in either party, but especially for the losers.  I don't like that news.

Of course.\nBush, Cheney, and their posse should all be investigated.

I am so glad we don't have a crook as the new Secretary of state.  Jennifer Brunner spoke at our voting rights conference debate 3 weeks ago so she is probably going to have more honest elections.\n\nThe biggest thrill is that Blackwell lost (I hought sure they would rig the election for him for his huge roll in helping steal Ohio for Bush in 2004..and what a poor showing 37% to 60% for Strickland.\n\nOne thing I don't think they will even consider is thinking about cutting medicaid to sick, homeless people making less than $115 a month to balance their budget (while keeping the ripoff nursing homes since they were reps greater campaign contributors like the republicans did till thankfully they got that unexpected windfall..to be that poor, homeless, and sick and they take away your antipycotic meds or insulin or chemo is just cruel.  A former minister like Strickland would not even consider a bill like that.\n\nWhtever they do, it will be better than what Taft could do

I would say so, Jimmy Carter has been called upon several time to act as minister for foreign affairs. America is lucky to have had him as a President. This guy above me is wrong again. President Ford gave Iran the Nuclear technology they have right now. Iran isn't a treat to America anyway, and nobody is listening to the warmongering Republicans on the Iran Issue anyway.

Fishy, yes.  Also inevitable.  Oversight and accountability are clearly not tolerated by this administration.  The guy should have known better than to actually do his job!
