Voting machine problems reported on East Coast, in Midwest

They predicted this, too.

How is it that we put a rover on Mars that takes commands from 120,000,000 miles away, but we cannot invent a machine that reliably and effectively counts votes?

I might have a pocket calculator that I can lend to election officials.

Oh, I forgot, all those space exploits are staged and filmed in the Arizona desert (where hale-bopp lives).

Maybe the election is staged there, too.

my daughter is now a registered voter and voted for the 1st time, we were in and out FAST, no lines, no waiting, it was awesome!

Fast for me, too. I commented on it in the blog above.

Something should be done about our system of voting. We have machines that perform thousands of pinpoint spot welds, and machines that assist doctors perform the most delicate surgery, and they say that the average wristwatch today contains more computing power than the first capsule that went to the moon, BUT we still can't produce machines that count votes. Somebody, somehow, somewhere is getting rich off of this.

Barely any reporting of intimidation events, most notably in Philadelphia, where billy club weilding thugs were allowed to stand out in front of polling places.

How about we just have a show of hands?
