- Of course, the other issue is that the same day voting is only allowed in Dem counties. Equal representation? Obviously not. Either open it up in all counties (bad idea), or don''t open it up at all.

- It wasn''t just the GOP bringing home the machines. The Dems did that too. It is a practice in the rural counties.
The court case they are thinking about filing has nothing to do with brining the machines home, it has to do with whether a person can sign up to vote on election day and then vote that same day.
The answer should obviously be no. Otherwise, you will have people voting absentee and signing up to vote on election day. The waiting period is to ensure things like that don''t happen. - Reply to this comment
- Smart, Brunner...very smart.
But there is one other thing you have to worry about:
If those voting machines return their results by landline, you have to take into consideration Congress'' ill-advised "immunity" grant to the Telcos...and the possibility that "black boxes" with software that targets data from voting machines exist, courtesy of the "Patriot Act".
Paranoia, you say?
Would Bush, Cheney, & PNAC, LLP lie to start a war?
Would Bush, Cheney, & PNAC, LLP commit treason by outing a CIA agent?
Would Bush, Cheney, & PNAC, LLP be flat-out caught unlawfully stacking the Department of Justice based upon personal and political beliefs - with an undoubted impact on subsequent investigations into voter fraud?
Paranoia, you still say? - Reply to this comment
- Boy those republicans sure are kinky, first there is toe-tapping in Airport men''s rooms, now we find out they take voting machines home for sleep-overs! lol
Good for the Ohio secretary of state, Jennifer Brunner . I read elsewhere that the Ohio GOP has been fighting her reforms (she is a Democrat) and have even filed a lawsuit to prevent this change. - Reply to this comment
- What will the GOP do now that they''''ll have a harder time rigging the voting machines this election?

...no problem, sign up for an absentee ballot. - Reply to this comment
- "The prospect of someone coming in with no ID and registering and voting is contrary to every sort of protection that legislators and lawmakers have built into this system for decades," said Kevin DeWine, a Republican
MN has had same day registration for decades. No problem - no long lines - no fraud. It is not that big of a deal!
For those of you that want a paper ballot - vote absentee. That way you get the paper to fill out and not a machine that may or may not have been tampered with! - Reply to this comment
- So that''s how they did it!
I always wondered what happened to all those exit polls that showed Kerry winning in Ohio in 04 and then wound up losing!
Hmm Sleepovers. These neocons think of everything! - Reply to this comment
- "Ohio''s elections chief says she won''t allow poll workers to take voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election."
WHAT? What great moron thought up THIS practice?
The machines should be stored securely in a vault and distributed to various areas on the morning of the election. This nonsense of private voters taking the machines home with them is ABSOLUTE LUNACY. Way to show your intelligence, Ohio! - Reply to this comment
- What, the head of Bush''s reelection campaign won''t be overseeing Ohio voting this year?
It''s funny how in 2004, the Republican bigshots took the machines home to spend the night with them, but they screwed the American public.
How do they do that? - Reply to this comment

How do you know this? If you think I believe that you spoke to Jesus and he expressed that position I''d say you have better drugs than I.
I do not believe that any one who speaks with Jesus and gets a reply is sane. Period. - Reply to this comment
- Kevin DeWine, a Republican lawmaker who is poised to take over the state party after the election. "The processes and the law and the systems in our 88 counties are not equipped to handle same-day registration."
TRANSLATION: This will make it extremely difficult to maintain illegal vote manipulation so Republicans can keep control in Ohio. - Reply to this comment
