Well, most of us that are not trying to grind their own favorite ax here, were trying to keep this a humorous thread.

The truth is that all the problems last Tuesday were caused by incompetent poll workers and election supervisors in about 16 of our 67 counties, mostly in south florida, which we all know is now a third world country. It as not the voters fault that voting machines were not correctly programmed, or turned on. Nor is it the voters fault that some voting places that were supposed to be open at 7:00 AM were not open until 4:00 PM. It was not the voters fault that some polling places ran out of ballots, or distributed the wrong party's ballot to the wrong voters, or printed Democratic ballots with a code on then that told the scanner they were Republican ballots causing the scanning machines to void the votes on them for Democratic candidates. It was not the voters fault that after the governor ordered polls to remain open an extra two hours, that nobody communicated that order to most of the polling stations, or that computer voting machines were programmed to turn off promptly at 7:00 PM regardless of What the governor ordered.

It was all actually quite humorous except for one little detail... Every error throughout the state that I have so far heard or read about, without exception, was something that favored the Republican Party. What a strange coincidence!

BTW, I'm not a Democrat, I'm now registered an Independent, but I was a registered Republican when I lived up north, and ran for office as a Republican. Why did I change? Because I discovered that many of the people down here in the south that call themselves Republicans, are not. They are far right knee jerk reactionaries pumped full of simplistic propaganda, who never had an original thought in their lives,and parrot what they read in newspapers owned by nut cases, or hear on the radio talk shows from more nut cases.
