Damn those computer bugs

More voting machine woes. And this time there's a surprise result: the Repuglibums are complaining. Being on the losing end this time.

"It is our information that there are irregularities," said Christopher T. Craig, attorney for the Republicans. "Voting machines were moved out of polling places and back into the polling places, and they are not supposed to be. That is not supposed to happen."

...[Margaret K. Luca (D), secretary of the county's three-person elections board] said there were "unanticipated problems" with the nine machines. Election workers in the nine precincts tried to reboot the machines as trained, she said, but that did not solve the problem. She then decided it would be best to bring the machines to the county government center, where technicians were better prepared to deal with them.

"The whole idea behind these machines is that they are portable, so it made more sense to bring them to where you had the technology and the people to fix . . . these problems," Luca said.

Craig acknowledged that the number of votes, estimated in the hundreds, "may not make any difference, but that is not the point."

"It's about voter integrity," he said.


And when I can pick myself up from the floor and stop laughing, I will post some more.

Margaret, honey, read the rules. Rethugs, move on.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
