Interestingly, the other local newspaper here (the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) considered the election to have gone smoothly:

Western Pennsylvania's switch to electronic voting machines didn't create the catastrophe some predicted, though human and computer errors slowed voting in some areas, and a few voters remain distrustful of the new system.

Touch-screen machines in 25 of Allegheny County's 1,314 precincts didn't work for at least part of the day Tuesday, but most were fixed by midmorning and every polling station for the primary had at least one working machine by 6 p.m., county Chief Executive Dan Onorato said.

The touch screens on nine of the machines broke during delivery to their polling places, he said.

"We have not seen any major problems," Onorato said. "I'm pleasantly surprised that it has been going fairly smoothly."

I never figured I would be back here, but I have returned at the end of it all.

I am here to once and for all clear my name respectively. All of the election fraud has now been confirmed, and it has been proven.

I do not want to ever hear the word disinformation again. It is a fake word used to take attention away from very serious crimes that relate to "sensitive subjects"

Not only was there nothing wrong about it, there was basically no misinformation in the election fraud evidence.

AIPAC is fully behind all election fraud and has committed treason in America.

My name will be cleared permanently, since the end is nearing. I will be also providing irrefutable proof in audit logs of the tampering that took place.

All three voting machine companies, but specifically Sequoia and Diebold have been confirmed to use the illegal Choicepoint-linked program.

We have confirmed the bank accounts that paid for the election fraud and we have confirmed the neocons who were for a fact behind it.

The Department of Justice has now confirmed basically everything, and more will be coming out.

The Whistleblower and former Congressional Candidate in Florida was not only not wrong, one day he will be commended for standing up to the treason.

In this country more than 3 other nations have committed treason. One of them Sibel Edmonds talks about, happens to be behind the worst of the election fraud....

And we have also complete proof of Porter Goss financing the overseas project. Porter Goss resigned for good due to what we uncovered. More will be resigning, don't wait up.

Just pray all the machines break down, because the programming code the neocons are confirmed to have written, is a deadly worm that purges voters regardless of creed. And its linked right to Choicepoint.

Contact me whenever you have a question or just have to get a word in.

Doug, are you the nutty disinfo freak Al Rogers in disguise?

You destroy any possible credibility you could have, with this statement of yours:

"We have confirmed the bank accounts that paid for the election fraud and we have confirmed the neocons who were for a fact behind it."

Fablecrusaders were soooooo last year. Get a life!

LOL, are you accusing yourself now?

Brad, any IP info for this troll?

Actually no John, we have proof that your real name is not John Dean and that you work with Al Rogers.

And all of you ignorant neocon trolls are just about to receive your final just deserts. Do you remember Oklahoma city?

Was that an "anti-semitic" conspiracy theory too?

All you flunkies are basically done for along with your laughable labels.

Doug E.

So do you have anything better to do than hang around like other neocons, such as Les Barth and spout your tongue off?

I guess not. Well I'll be off then. When you're in jail I'll be sure and send a postcard, since I'm not concerned with any neocons after how many I've fought.

; -)

Whig, this was an interesting part of your quote:

every polling station for the primary had at least one working machine by 6 p.m., county Chief Executive Dan Onorato said.

Ah, yes. No wonder he said it was such a successful election. By 6pm on Election Day, every polling place had a way for people to vote. Lovely.

He really is the "man behind the curtain" manipulating events and opinion.

The later edition (and print run) of the Post-Gazette said the election went smoothly, too. See here:

The introduction yesterday of electronic touch-screen voting machines for the primary election hit a few bumps in the road, but, overall, proceeded with fewer problems than anticipated in Allegheny and surrounding counties.

The main problem was the failure by poll workers to obtain a printed "zero-vote" count from the machines before the polls opened at 7 a.m. The zero-vote count is necessary to serve as a baseline and ensure no votes are stored on the machines before official voting begins.

Most of the 600 calls for help from poll workers in Allegheny County concerned the zero-vote count problem, county Chief Executive Dan Onorato said.

More than 120 zero-vote count problems were reported in the 2,638 Electronic Systems & Software, or ES&S, machines across Allegheny County. Some of the machines were not fixed for several hours, which forced voters to use paper ballots, but nearly all of the problems were solved by mid-afternoon. Mr. Onorato said no one missed the opportunity to vote as a result of the missteps.

No "zero-vote" count huh?

If I ever bought a calculator and the "clear" button didn't work, I'm pretty sure it would end up in the garbage can!

Taxes spent for garbage!

That has to have Grover Norquist's head exploding, right Grover?

Grover? You there?

...and WHIG was just trampsing around the internet, and happened to come across BradBlog! And happened to be the first post!

WOW! What a coincidence!

WHIG, how did you come upon this site?

Richard Mellon Scaife/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Sorry about the comments, WHIG... there's so much trolling misinformation posters, I'm getting paranoid!

Thanks Big Dan - interesting read!

God - they're everywhere!

Hey Big Dan. I read here a lot. I just don't post much because I haven't got a lot to add most of the time. You'd be more likely to find me over at Glenn Greenwald's site or CNews.

Btw, I've been using Whig as my online name for a decade at least. Has nothing to do with the White House Iraq Group. I kinda resent them taking my name, but the Whig Party a hundred years ago was also far from being Whiggish.

And I was first post on this thread because I mentioned the PG article in the previous thread.

Big Dan:

Or do you think it might just have something to do with, ohh, I dunno, THAT'S WHERE THE MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS ARE?!?!?!?!

It happened everywhere Dan, not just PHL and PIT.

I voted today, we used to have lever machines in the last election, today we had ES&S for the first time. A very small town, about 250 people. I asked them many questions about vote fraud and their knowledge of ES&S & DIEBOLD, and they knew nothing. I said that maybe they ought to know more about this, and they said that the election officials should've looked into what I'm talking about, not them. Sad.

Sorry WHIG, I got you mixed up with someone else. I'm on the rampage for trolls and misinformers. It's a pet peeve of mine. They have to be put in their place, they're ruining our country. There's intelligent misinformers, who know what they're doing...they act like they're "on our side", then when they get the "in", they start misinforming. Then, there's the complete kook-aid idiots like Ricky, etc... Two types.

I thought you were pulling a "Wally O'Diebold"... sorry, I just can't stand it... got the wrong guy...

btw... this Doug stuff is flying over my head...

BTW, also, Republican Don Sherwood, who choked his mistress in Washington & "settled" out of court for $5 million, squeaked by for the win in Tunkhannock, Pa. I've been posting links about that story. "Republican Family Values" won out. I guess Clinton getting a blowjob turned off Republicans more than choking a mistress. All hypocrites!!! The voters, too, are hypocrites, for voting for him. Forget about adulterers who choke their mistresses, "he's our guy".

Big Dan:

Don't feel bad, after the Kerry "defeat", the trust level has gone to hell. I feel like a brown shirt whenever I try to talk to someone I don't know about politics.

Remember what they say "just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean somebody's not watching you".

The trolls must live in a very strange world, pity them!

The world of trolls

Thanks for that Bluebear!
