New GOP Scandals Mounting on Election Day
By: Factchecker

In addition to the GOP "Robocall" phone harrassment scandal that CNN has picked up on,  the FBI is investigating reports of voter intimidation by the GOP in Virginia.

Also, there are numerous voting problems being reported around the country:  Long lines in the Ohio rain while electronic machines were trying to be fixed, inoperative machines in Indiana, purged registrations in Florida (like what Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris did in 2000 to 1000s of African-American voters), GOP election fixing in Utah, Tennessee machine problems in lower income Sullivan County, etc. 

No wonder the Carter Center won't certify America's voting system.  When it's broken, democracy is broken.

Make your vote count today!

Broken

When it's broken, democracy is broken.

The system isn't broken -- it's working exactly the way the GOP wants it to.

It never ceases to amaze me that any person would deliberately align themselves with a party that can't win on honest debate and openly relies on illegal tactics to win.

voting machine problems

Hey, we had voting machine problems in upper-income Williamson County too. Must be some weird reverse-Rovian plot to drive down GOP totals in Williamson County to cause the Ford camp to be over-confident so they won't have as many dead folks vote in Shelby, thus leading to a GOP win in the Senate race.

Yeah, that's it.

Your tinfoil hat is in the mail.
