Angel ,'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't like the fact that we don't have a paper trail here, particularly because the voter machines can theoretically print out the ballot. I'd rather have copies tucked away somewhere, so we could have a real recount.
It looks like it's going to be a really big turnout. As usual, we're having polling places that run out of supplies. It seems that happens every election and they learn nothing from it.
nothing to learn. it is intentional.
We do not get a paper ballot print out here either and I trust NO ONE! I hates it.
People here in the office were talking about touch screen machines refusing to take Romney votes, but I cannot imagine that happening in Texas and anything other than the voting machine being taken out back and shot. Apparently they had no visual proof, it was some woman calling in on a reght wing talk radio show last week. I walked away shaking my head at them.
Hey Trudy, hello. How are you doing?
I had to wait a few minutes for a booth, but the whole thing did not take long. I was #63 in my precinct to vote - the other precinct at the polling station looked busier, I think it must be bigger.
According to the media, Virginia doesn't have paper ballots. But most of us were offered paper ballots today. One of my cowworkers said that his polling place wasn't offering them, and he overheard one electoral worker telling another the reasons for that.
The part that caught his ear was "It's a shame, because the paper ballots are faster to count than the computer ballots."
Australia is nice so far They ran out of the Shiraz I'd settled on after trying several others. Impromptu wine flights? But with less class? We had to pass the time somehow and were of like minds.

Yeah, Fox was talking about voting machines switching votes from Romney to Obama last week.
They presented no evidence.
It made me paranoid. One thing Republicans like to do is accuse Democrats of doing some evil thing that Republicans are already doing. That way, when Democrats acuse Republicans of doing it, it sounds like a tit-for-tat, he said/she said kind of thing.
SARA!!! Bailey misses you. Mac requested you stay for longer when you come back.
I am heartened by my county, I re-looked up data from 2008 and it was like 56/44, so so so very purple. I am hoping to see that become even closer to an even split this year.
Awww, msbelle & Maria, it's mutual.
Now I need to get moving to avoid the sleepiness.
