To me the ONLY question that needs answering is WHEN this election IS stolen just what the hell are we going to do about it? If the answer is small protest here and there and maybe a legal challenge after it is already too late then don't waste your time just accept the fact that we now live in a full blown fascist police state that is headed into a massive depression, forget about ever voting again, just do away with voting all together stop pretending it exist and accept the fact we are ruled by Christofascist lunatics and this country no longer exist. Just what are YOU going to do?

So, now that it's affecting the Election Board members, will the news finally break through the Soviet-style media?

Cincinnati's wingnut Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters (who BTW has a nasty little money-grubbing scandal in his past AND is McCain's SW Ohio campaign chair) has subpoenaed voter records. Let me rephrase that: John McCain's Southwest Ohio Campaign Chairman has subpoenaed voter records. Couldn't help but think this morning when I saw that was that in 2006 Ohio elected an aggressive AG... who lost that job in a S-E-X scandal earlier this year... The shitstorm that was unleashed on him was so over the top that even democrats were lining up to take a swing - never mind signs of a set up - and forced him out faster than you can say Elliot Spitzer. At the time I was thinking, who'd he piss off? Wondering if that wasn't a little short-sighted...

Hmmm...just brainstorming here... What about an official coupon with a bar code mailed to each registered voter that the voter hands in when they show up to vote. One per voter, mailed out by the state to all registered voters. No ticket, no vote. If you didn't get your coupon by October 15, you show up with your official stamped copy of your registration form (that will be provided to all voters when they register, or they can request an official stamped copy or print-out from their Elections Directer) and that is the only verification needed. Would that stop some of this criminal monkey business and not be too cumbersome?

Probably many or most all of these data base errors have originated with the voter registration office itself rather than being the fault of the voter registrant. I am a deputized registrar in Hawaii. When I was helping to register voters several weeks ago, I encountered a voter who wanted to fill out the voter registration form simply to try to correct for the umpteenth time an error the Registrar had in the spelling of that voter's family name. Repeated attempts to get it corrected by sending in the Registrar's yellow change of address card failed to get the error corrected. The voter, however, did not complain of being prevented from voting in the past, despite the error. Fortunately, Hawaii is no Ohio.

We definitely need reform...eligible citizens should not have to go through the gauntlet to vote! Some of our eligible voters may be homeless or have moved and that should be taken into account too. AND of course, GET RID OF MACHINES! Educate people,the more that know of the danger of voting machines,can contact their congressmen to change election laws and do as our Canadian neighbors do..paper ballots, pencil, and both parties oversight of counters. They have the results of the election by midnight. Oversight can be selected like jurors.
