Fishey Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 well, i'm officially done with this thread for awhile. all i'm going to say is, and it can be flipped if desired. if you vote for WR and you care about social issues, i hope you get what you deserve. i don't care who you vote for, but please vote and REALLY REALLY vote for senate/house/dog catcher. We need people that will work together and stop this partisan bickering. <<<drops the mic>>> Social Issues... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2225663/Superstom-Sandy-looters-brag-Twitter-Even-momma-got-outta-house-loot-new-shirt.html Stir the pot... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzTxTQG8BQs Just saying...

S8ET6 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I am hoping no state still uses a punch card anymore. I exercised my early voting option last week. I was asked if I wanted to cast my vote traditionally or electronically. I decided to vote electronically while my wife voted the regular way. They gave me a regular ballot, which I then had to run through a scanner twice before it could read it and display it on a touch screen monitor. Then I touched the screen to vote, touched it to navigate to each section of the ballot and touched again to indicate that I was done. At that point, the machine colored in my choices on the ballot and spit the completed ballot back out to me. I then had to insert it into an envelope and put it in the ballot box. The while process took about 10 minutes longer than voting the traditional way. If this is what electronic voting is going to be like then they can keep that crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I voted last week, but here in Washington State all voting is by mail. I dropped my vote off at a collection point in front of the court house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what electronic voting is going to be like then they can keep that crap They must be using different machines in Indiana. For us, you insert a card, the options show up on a screen, you click what you want on the touch screen, then it verifies at the end, you see it print up in paper in a window (which you can't access - it's on a roll) and then it spits out the card and you take the card to the main machine, they stick it into that machine, your vote is offloaded from the card and then you're done. Takes just as long as traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Is this the real Chris Christie? Fox trying to turn the hurricane into a political event for Romney, Christie puts the smackdown on Ducey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr1jJhe04ug 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 It is what it is, but I am gonna go ahead and cry foul on the whole thing. Dems will bitch about NY voters and thats the obvious issue right now. On the flip side NY is blue, and will stay that way. Other states though... Why does that matter you ask? Because out of the 20-25 people I talk to regularly in Florida, over half of them are deployed in storm areas. They will not have the option to vote Tuesday, and cannot get absentee ballots. This applies to over a hundred thousand people scattered across all the states. It is a small number ranted, but I doubt many will argue that military and federal government are mostly republicans. And after all this is in theory a tight race. Not gonna gonna name names or agencies, but there are a lot of upset people who cannot speak out. As for the storm, it rained. Get over it. The only thing that makes me smile is the fact that half those people will not see a dime from insurance since they did not have flood insurance. Even thats short lived though, because there is a real chance Obama could win and bail them out. COME ON ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Foul? Exactly how is this a foul? Fox is trying to use the storm for Romney's political advantage. Christie wasn't having any of it and was doing his job as govenor and was obviously annoyed that they would even bring it up at this time, even though he should have expected it. I will say for a Fox interview he was praising Obama a bit much, so Romney must have pissed him off at some point, but Christie has never really supported Romney until he offically because the GOP canidate.

Che'_Moderator Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thousands of volunteers being denied the right to vote is not an issue. Screw the people who literally cannot get out of the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Christie is Christie and he has always looked out for his State and his interests. He doesn't care what the party thinks of him and that's why he got elected in the first place. But I agree with Chuck, there are all kinds of people mobilized for the storm cleanup that are not going to be able to vote - and that could hurt Romney today.
