Democrats:\u00a0pre-marked ballots in Nevada<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Some voters in Boulder City complained on Monday that their ballot had been cast before they went to the polls, raising questions about Clark County’s electronic voting machines.<\/p>\n

Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid’s name was already checked.<\/p>\n

Ferrara said she wasn’t alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.<\/p>\n

“Something’s not right,” Ferrara said. “One person that’s a fluke. Two, that’s strange. But several within a five minute period of time — that’s wrong.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The voting machine technicians? \u00a0SEIU employees<\/a>. \u00a0What could possibly <\/em>go wrong?<\/p>\n

The get-out-the-vote effort? Reads just like a conservative’s wisecrack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isolated incident? \u00a0Nope<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Craven County voter says he had a near miss at the polls on Thursday when an electronic voting machine completed his straight-party ticket for the opposite of what he intended.<\/p>\n

Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pushed it twice and the same thing happened,\u201d Laughinghouse said. \u201cThat was four times in a row. The fifth time they pushed it and the Republicans came up and I voted.\u201d<\/p>\n

M. Ray Wood, Craven County Board of elections chairman, issued a written statement saying that the elections board is aware of isolated issues and that in each case the voter was able to cast his or her ballot as desired.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And between Hennepin <\/a>and Ramsey <\/a>County along we have 75 charges of voter fraud from 2008. \u00a0That’s 1\/4 of Al Franken’s margin of victory, in counties\u00a0totaling\u00a010% of Minnesota’s population.<\/p>\n

But remember – according to the DFL, all of you who want to bring integrity back to our election system are racist thugs.<\/p>\n

Helps keep things in perspective, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
