Thread Name: BS: Election counts
Subject: RE: BS: Election counts
OK, the GOP is evil, and the Democrats are always right. Why bother having an election at all, since the results are required to be in favor of the Dems, regardless of what they do at the polls?

(sarcasm)




When I see equal interest in the voting irregularities in the areas controlled by Dems, I will acknowledge that BOTH sides are trying ( to the limits of the law, and in cases ON BOTH SIDES beyond that limit) to insure that

1. voters they think will support them can vote
2. voters they think will not support them will not vote.


I have no problem with taking a hard look at voting problems IN ALL AREAS- NOT just where the GOP gets the advantage. As long as "miscounts" occur, they are wrong- EVEN when the result is what you WANT it to be.


I look at MD, with four Democrat-controlled counties ( out of 20 some) deciding the election ( larger populations), and have to wonder about the actual votes in any state: Given technology, and the control of election hardware by one party, is it any wonder that incumbent (parties) always seem to have the advantage?


When the Chicago Dem Machine delivers more votes than there are voters, how many here will ask that those votes be taken away from Obama? Or even checked to see who the voters that did vote actually voted for?
