Unreliable elections still happening in Florida, Supporters of Democracy take note
"Gabe" wrote in message link.net...
It seems to me that people from every place but Florida are trying to tell Florida how to count their ballots. Worry about your own state and let Florida worry about theirs. We have. We have a system where voters blacken the ovals; the machine reads by mark-sensing AND the ballots are retained for checking when necessary. You seem to forget that what happens in Florida affects all of us. They participate in the election of the president and vicepresident, elect senators and congressmen. and you think we have NO interest in that???? I think we learned in 2000 that people of Florida are INCOMPETENT to hold an election, perhaps CRIMINALLY so. |

Worry about your own state and let Florida worry about theirs. When it directly affects who MY next president will be or which party will control the House and the Senate it's my worry, too. They can elect their governor using pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey methods, as far as I'm concerned. Hell they didn't use pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey; they ELECTED the donkey. |

. .. "alohacyberian" wrote in message ... LOL! Your lame attempt to damn the entire United States because of the activities of one American corporation is laughable. What is sad is that you belive your two party only system is democracy! you are a Republic, not a democracy. True ... there are no "pure" democracies. "Representative republic" has morphed into "democracy". And of course "republic" means "representative" so the term is not only redundant, it's the usual political double-talk.

Yes you do Lynn. And little old ladies in Palm Beach registering their dogs to vote is a problem and needs to be stopped. Registration needs to be tightened. How do you propose we do that? Btw I have been involved as a volunteer and as a committeewoman in a major party in this state for over 25 years. And to the person who says it directly affects who will be your President, the President is not elected by popular vote. There doesn't even have to be a Presidential election. All that is necessary is to vote for electors. We are all aware that the president is not elected by popular vote. But your remark suggests you are ignorant of the fact that the ELECTORS who DO elect the president ARE elected by popular vote. |

But they don't have to be - they could be appointed by a governor or the legislature. Lynn |

If the machine prints out the actual ballot and the voter is invited to examine it before putting it into the box...that might work. Yes, that's how it's supposed to work - and pretty much the only way to do trustworthy electronic voting, unless you issue everyone with crypto keys and somehow train them in key hygiene. miguel -- Hit The Road!

om... "alohacyberian" wrote in message ... "Alan A" wrote in message ... mmmm yes, Enron, plus the other sharks who have stiffed millions, LOL! Your lame attempt to damn the entire United States because of the activities of one American corporation is laughable. What about the millions of other American corporations that aren't run by crooked executives? Most of them are privately held. Among the Fortune 500 you have MCI, Adelphia, Lucent, Boeing Nortel, and many others who commited either stock price manipulations or consumer swindles. One would expect better behavior from large organizations run by seasoned college graduates! JG Out of the Fortune 500 you're wetting yourself over five? That's 1%? Then by all means, invest in the other 496. No, better yet, a person of your acumen should put his under a mattress manufactured by a good collective.
