If your polling place becomes a crime scene, treat it like one. Get to know a hip black cop in your town, get a lawyer, and if possible, a sympathetic local politico, and make the arrest of the local Sec of State, RNC, etc. Charge them with Treason as well as election fraud, and include bush and his klan on the arrest complaint, being careful not to refer to him as ” president, ” for he is also being arrested here for the 2000 debacle, which is demostrably the same crime.
As is the conspiracy to commit genocide in Iraq.

Thoughtful insights & overview.  And thanks for bringing Kevin Tillman’s statement to the world! We need to shut-down the wordmince works; like Paul Hackett (who rocked the political establishment by far-more-nearly taking that Ohio congressional seat that anyone thought)...remember his harsh but true public statements, re: Bush is “a godamned chickenhawk!” etc.  Democrats need to get over the hand-wringy BSS (battered spouse syndrome.  In a political brawl, by definition, Miss Manners needs to yield to Tom Paine.  Tillman speaks with that hardwon, in-our-face true-front-line-patriot:

“In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people. So don’t be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity…”

ELECTIONS
Glitches cited in early voting
Early voters are urged to cast their ballots with care following scattered reports of problems with heavily used machines.

After a week of early voting, a handful of glitches with electronic voting machines have drawn the ire of voters, reassurances from elections supervisors—and a caution against the careless casting of ballots.

Several South Florida voters say the choices they touched on the electronic screens were not the ones that appeared on the review screen— the final voting step.

Election officials say they aren’t aware of any serious voting issues. But in Broward County, for example, they don’t know how widespread the machine problems are because there’s no process for poll workers to quickly report minor issues and no central database of machine problems.

In Miami-Dade, incidents are logged and reported daily and recorded in a central database. Problem machines are shut down.

‘‘In the past, Miami-Dade County would send someone to correct the machine on site,’’ said Lester Sola, county supervisor of elections. Now, he said, ``We close the machine down and put a seal on it.’’

Debra A. Reed voted with her boss on Wednesday at African-American Research Library and Cultural Center near Fort Lauderdale. Her vote went smoothly, but boss Gary Rudolf called her over to look at what was happening on his machine. He touched the screen for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, a Democrat, but the review screen repeatedly registered the Republican, Charlie Crist.

That’s exactly the kind of problem that sends conspiracy theorists into high gear—especially in South Florida, where a history of problems at the polls have made voters particularly skittish.

A poll worker then helped Rudolf, but it took three tries to get it right, Reed said.

‘‘I’m shocked because I really want . . . to trust that the issues with irregularities with voting machines have been resolved,’’ said Reed, a paralegal. ``It worries me because the races are so close.’’

Broward Supervisor of Elections spokeswoman Mary Cooney said it’s not uncommon for screens on heavily used machines to slip out of sync, making votes register incorrectly. Poll workers are trained to recalibrate them on the spot—essentially, to realign the video screen with the electronics inside. The 15-step process is outlined in the poll-workers manual.

‘‘It is resolved right there at the early-voting site,’’ Cooney said.

Broward poll workers keep a log of all maintenance done on machines at each site. But the Supervisor of Elections office doesn’t see that log until the early voting period ends. And a machine isn’t taken out of service unless the poll clerk decides it’s a chronic poor performer that can’t be fixed.

Cooney said no machines have been removed during early voting, and she is not aware of any serious problems.

In Miami-Dade, two machines have been taken out of service during early voting. No votes were lost, Sola said.

Joan Marek, 60, a Democrat from Hollywood, was also stunned to see Charlie Crist on her ballot review page after voting on Thursday. ‘‘Am I on the voting screen again?’’ she wondered. ``Well, this is too weird.’’

Marek corrected her ballot and alerted poll workers at the Hollywood satellite courthouse, who she said told her they’d had previous problems with the same machine.

Poll workers did some work on her machine when she finished voting, Marek said. But no report was made to the Supervisor of Elections office and the machine was not removed, Cooney said.

Workers at the Hollywood poll said there had been no voting problems on Friday.

Mauricio Raponi wanted to vote for Democrats across the board at the Lemon City Library in Miami on Thursday. But each time he hit the button next to the candidate, the Republican choice showed up. Raponi, 53, persevered until the machine worked. Then he alerted a poll worker.

Miami Herald staff writer Linda Topping Streitfeld contributed to this report.

I HAVN’T SEEN ANY OTHER NEWS OUTLET REPORT THIS OUTRAGE !
  THERE IS NO HOPE HERE FOR FREE & FAIR ELECTIONS, AS LONG AS THE

MAJORITY PARTY IS HELL BENT ON KEEPING THIS A ‘ONE-PARTY’ RULE; FASCISM IS
NOT FAR AWAY!
  YEARS FROM NOW WHEN WE LOOK BACK, WE WILL ALL FIND IT ABSOLUTELY

INCREDULOUS AS TO,  HOW IT EVER CAME TO THIS SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS !!
PLEASE RAISE HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a response to right-wing perverted slogan “cut & run”, It is “Stay and Die” in Iraq for our brave soldiers who have been deprived of proper body armour,extra troops to get the job done and worst of all, NO PLAN OR SRTATEGY TO DEAL WITH THE INSURGENTS !!!!!!!!!
This adminstration and its ‘rubber-stamp’ republican congress is GUILTY of letting down our brave soldiers !!!!!!!!!!!!!

95 percent of persuasion success depends upon the credibility of the person attempting the persuasion.  Kevin Tillman has major
league credibility.

I’d like to suggest that people make at least a hundred copies of his outstanding letter and pass them out to people who they suspect are thinking about voting for a Republican in this election.

I suggest that you start the conversation with something like: “Do you remember Pat Tillman, the National Football League player who gave
up his career in the NFL to join the U. S. Army right after 9-1-1?

As you probably know, Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanistan.  This is a letter from Kevin Tillman, the brother of Pat Tillman.  He joined
the Army the same time his brother Pat did and he served in the Army in both Afghanistan and Iraq.”

“Before you go to vote on Tuesday November 7th, please read this letter.

If you agree with what he says, please do what I did and make at least 100 copies and pass them out to people who might be thinking of voting
for a Republican.”

This outstanding letter can be found on line by doing a Google search for: “After Pat’s Birthday.”  It can also be found at:

If this letter doesn’t make them change their minds—nothing will.

Just want to let you guys know that I appreciate very much what you have done —-for everyone.
