Comments on: Early Voting Fraud: Rhetoric Or Reality?

CBS Evening News: Election Officials In 17 States Say There Have Been Very Few Problems With Fraud Or Suppression

[aguuled]

CNN reports now on its main website:

"Registered voters ''purged'' from voter rolls
More than 50,000 registered Georgia voters have been "flagged" because of a computer mismatch in their personal identification information. "

Coincidently those who mostly got purged happen to be blacks...fitting considering''t Gerogia''s racist history..

So who is lying and/or misinformed? CBS or CNN?

In a close election like this 50,000 people in swing states could make all the difference.

...don''t worry it is just a computer error, 50,000 of them.

I suggest Gerogia''s election officials replace their computer.

Cocky Dems --- It''''s going to be so nice rubbing your noses in it when you lose. And it would be just like Democrats to screw up at this point and have the election fall out from under them, just because they got so full of themselves. Even your own befriender of terrorists, Osama Hussein made the statement "Back off or you''''re going to mess this up" Maybe the man''''s not as stupid as he looks after all.

How can you have the nerve to call anyone stupid when Sarah Palin is you VP Nominee, and McCain chose her.

The USA looks like a banana republic with an insane dictator in the oval office

[hot4real]

Why was the USA making so much noise about zimbabwe election when itself is a master electoral fraud?

people who believe the USA propaganda machine called CNN are those who do not follow news online.

USA equal to the most oppressive and illogical country on the planet, on the same level with their brothers in western europe.

[hot4real]

I thought in the USA democracy was perfect, what a joke that country is. ahahaha

The republicans live and die by the motto, any means justifies the ends, and that is exactly how they have always operated: caging votes by manipulating electronic voting machines, purging qualified voters from the voting-roles, stationing police cars near voting centers to discourage minorities from voting, placing too few voting machines in democratic areas to cause long waiting times and thus causing many voters to give and go home without voting, registering democratic voters at shopping centers and then throwing away their registration forms, calling (otherwise qualified) Hispanic voters and telling them they will be deported if they vote, calling democratic voters claiming to be taking a poll while making innuendos about the democratic candidate through their questions, making robo-calls, etc, etc. The republicans, und Karl Rove%u2019s tutelage, have made vote-caging a fine art. AND REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS OWN AND OPERATE THE VOTE-COUNTING MACHINES/SOFTWARE THAT COUNT 95 PERCENT OF THE VOTES!

I don''t think it could be said any better than this.

I want the voting to be fair and honest. Republicans are the worst at trying to suppress votes of Democrats any way they can. I think it is a phoney charge that voter registration relating to ACORN will in any way lead to ineligible voter voting. Also the purging of voters that has taken place in several states could have removed eligible voters from the rolls. It is republicans who are so determined to win by hook or crook that really are beyond the bounds. It is republicans that I fear will try again to cheat to have McCain come out the winner when he is really the loser.

And, 11 states have formal investigations going on.

This is a tainted election.

Well just think, we didn''t have an election in 2000, the president was picked by a court.

Iglesias: Repubs Sought Bogus Vote Fraud Cases

David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney of New Mexico, said that he was pressured by Republicans to prosecute voter fraud cases, even after he said that no evidence of fraud could be found, as a means to suppress turnout. "There appears to be a growing body of evidence that suggests that there''s voter suppression going on throughout the country," Iglesias said.

Stand up, America!! Do not let the Repulicans keep you away from the polls!! We must have change for the better in this nation. Vote Barack Obama and lets make our nation a better place!!!

An oldster told me in 1964 that he remembered his first vote...he got a dollar in his pay envelope to vote for McKinley, just like everybody else. The old 50s-60s voting machines were notoriously easy to fix or jam. And, of course, we had hanging chads in 2000, and ballot dumping in 2004.

There is no such thing as a perfectly fair election, but it seems to me that we''re getting closer...that is until, human nature being what it is, the next way to game the system is found.

Again seems like a fake news story.

Reporters need to learn to ignore every whine by each camp. sure you can look inot it, but if there is no meat, there is no story.

I voted early yesterday. no issues that I know of in my state. Voting machines in my disctrict and I think state wide are electronic, with a paper record that you can examine as you cast the votes. Seems pretty good really.

The reason that so many are voting early is because they are worried about denial or abnormality during election day. If registration roll problems show up early, perhaps they can be rectified before E-day.

I don''t know the Republican DA who was dismissed by the gang of thugs in this administration but he put it nicely.

Voter fraud is like the boogy man that parents tell their children its real scary but its not real.

Sorry neo cons but you have drawn the lines and it is ending in November 2008.

[freedomobama]

Reality.
