so - last year 1.9 million black votes in florida were not counted - and its going to be worse this year - with the ballots a malfunction could have it and the voter would not know it - and then their vote would not count - well in white majority towns they could see if their ballot was legit or not - only in upper class white majority mainly ( Read more... )

many black voters who had never committed a crime in their life were removed from their voting registries for being "ex-felons", it's nice to know that Jeb is doing his best to help his brother out :D

they were thrown away - some were what you call "spoiled votes" which means the voting machine (ex. puncher, computer) malfunctioned so the votes do not count - in white majority cities they have censors to detect whether or not the vote is spoiled or not - they dont have that in lower class cities - this is on purpose because a lot of the companies that make the voting machines are republican and in a lower class city there is a higher likely hood of being democratic votes - its kind of hard to explain online

well actually, one of the reasons that al gore lost florida was because of the ballot setup. In an area populated by wealthy, elderly, WHITE voters, who usually swing toward the democratic candidates, Pat Buchanan recieved an unusually high number of votes instead. So, color it an "Evil Conservative" conspiracy if you will, but try to include some shred of truth in your banter. And yes, Diebold has manufactured voting machines, and it is a corporation, however, i dont think that this technology disenfranchises poor minorities any more than welfare does.

thanks for reading the thoughts of a conservative libertarian

peace
