Earlier today from a Palm Beach Post blog item…
On his syndicated talk show this afternoon, Limbaugh said he was trying to vote in today’s primary when the screen seemed to freeze or “stick” on the list of presidential candidates.
“I hit ‘Next’ and it didn’t go there,” said Limbaugh, who lives in Palm Beach and often recounts the county’s electoral foibles on his show.
Then he hit the “Back” button and “got my candidate page again with the vote already recorded there. So I said ‘hmmmmm, I wonder if this is going to count twice.”
So he unclicked his favored candidate, clicked that candidate again and hit “Next” a second time – and it worked.
“I don’t know if I voted twice,” he said. “Probably not.”
For the record, although Florida’s Republican governor and legislature have voted to finally trash the touch-screens and move to all paper ballot elections, today’s Primary still uses the old touch-screens in many counties. Elsewhere, problems are occurring — yet again — with the paper-based Diebold op-scan systems in the Sunshine State. The same machines used in New Hampshire, and the same ones seen being hacked in HBO’s Hacking Democracy, are reportedly failing in several locations there. More on that soon.
The touch-screen systems used by Palm Beach County, also home of voter fraud felon Ann Coulter, are made by Sequoia Voting Systems.
The fat get stupider, eh?
I’d Laugh, but really he ain’t the only one using that electronic vote tabulation device that failed.
Maybe Americans are ready to have everything chosen for us now, and this voting thing just be a fake symbolic test of how much dung we are all willing to swallow.
With all the drugs Rush takes, he might’ve been having a flashback, or a meltdown, or whatever. I support his right to have his votes tabulated accurately, nonetheless.
Absolutely correct Linda.
Anyone here ever try to post a comment online, hit next, find it didn’t register, hit back and resubmitted it? Find that your comment registered twice? Uh huh.
Did you mean “Count Rush Limbaugh” as the prince of Fascism, or did you slip that o in there by mistake?
Uh oh, now kos is going to be fighting the faith based election folks like Rush, as kos already is fighting the Election Integrity folks, like us.
Rush would like the kos site, because you can vote as many times as you want on kos’s site, without a paper trail or any other annoying stuff like that. Like in NH, South Carolina, Florida, and coming to a kossy place near you soon.
Ah … progressive kossystan … isn’t it just the Stalin darling of all things bloggy?
I see a new mantra merging with the kossicks “Trust me, I know what is best for you”. Go Stalinists … go kossicks … go somewhere else.
What “El Rushbo” didn’t seem to understand is that the voting machines are still set to count 2 out of 3 votes for Bush. By the way “El Rushbo” is spanish for: “Big Fat Stupid Pig that even we wouldn’t Barbeque”
He voted straight Republican: Stalin, Hitler, Mousoulini, & Hirohito.
