VOTE... if you think it will matter

[Scrooge McSam]

Glitches cited in early voting

Well, HEY... here's a surprise!

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.

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.

That's exactly the kind of problem that sends conspiracy theorists into high gear

Gee, I wonder why?

I was just thinking I've never seen a story on these machines where the republican candidate was selected by the voter while the democrat was displayed by the machine. Anyone else? Unless the system IS rigged, there should be some occurances of repubs swapped for dems.

Anyone?
