News sources are reporting that elections official in the lower Easter Shore counties are being swamped requests for absentee ballots. Some counties are experiencing a two-fold increase over previous elections.... Either the whole freaking population will be out of town that day, or the population distrusts the voting machines provided by Diebold. You remember those folks- they sponsored the Repiglican victory in Ohio during the last presidential election, not to mention the cluster fuck during the primaries in September.
But if you think you an get away from the incestuous relationship between the Repigs and Diebold by casting a paper ballot, you need to think again, as the absentee ballots are also being provided by Diebold... or not provided, as the case may be. State election board official Linda Lamoane (geez, I love that name.... sounds like a character from the Fritz the Cat movie) took a flogging recently from the governor for her office's inability to provide absentee ballots to voters in a timely fashion. Reportedly, some have been waiting weeks for their ballots and are starting to get cranky...

Yeah, I thnk that's probably the conventioanl wisdom, RR. But, if it's true, don't you think it's odd coming from the party that some say stole the last election with paperless ballots... and that's oneof the reasons I'm voting by absentee ballot... I don't trust a machine that has not paper backup.
I have no freaking idea what you just said RR.
