In Palm Beach Co. Florida the headline reads, “Voting smooth despite glitches” yet we find that at times two of three DREs in one precinct were not working, cards got stuck in machines, and cards were being rejected as ‘invalid’. And victory in Leon County as Ion Sancho gets a unanimous vote of confidence from the county commission. This, in no small part, due to the thousands of emails sent to the commission by Ion’s supporters all over the country. Gov. Rendell of Pennsylvania vetoed the state legislature’s voter ID bill. Meanwhile Arizona is looking into forcing those who vote-by-mail to provide a copy of their ID in the mail with their ballot….

You said "In Palm Beach Co. Florida the headline reads, ‘Voting smooth despite glitches’ yet we find that at times two of three DREs in one precinct were not working, cards got stuck in machines, and cards were being rejected as ‘invalid’."
Increasingly we see that in America these daze the government solution to every problem is to cover it up.
Comfort the people with lies. Where do these people come from?
Nice video, Pete, thanks! By the way, I’m pretty sure that was actual footage from a Palm Beach voting booth…
Brad: Has there ever been a study linking the increase of Republican politicians to the installation of electronic voting machines?
