It's odd how in this election cycle the Establishment has made alot of "errors".

I have lost faith in our system of Government, completely......

    1) Many counties and states are in the process to comply with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). Errors like this do happen.

    2) That guy wasn't screwed on purpose. It does suck for the guy, but the process isn't perfect. It's come a long since 2000, but there's still room to go. I believe that by the 2010 elections everyone is to be up to code.

    3) Affadavit ballots DO get counted. There's nothing wrong with that.

    Why is Russia TV covering this story but not the Mainstream Media in the U.S.?

    I'd say just as credible as our state run media.....

    I guess by "state run media" you mean the media controlled by the party that runs the Executive Branch? That's how state media works. So I guess you mean Fox News.

    Also. You don't think Putin (who controls the media there) wouldn't like to make the US elections process look foolish as he moves his country closer and closer to communism?

    You don't see Putin taking the country on a communist route?

    The man has been eliminating the powers of their democracy pretty hardcore, especially in the last couple of years.

    Your fact is...opinion

    I see first hand everyday how much care and testing goes into making the election process fair. It's a very hard task. People don't want old paper ballots because they take so long, but they don't want these optical scan machines either because in the wrong hands they are easy to manipulate.

    You have no idea how much testing goes into these machines? One of our divisions here (Illinois State Board of Elections) is gone for months on end leading up to an election to run thousands of test ballots through the machines in every county and making sure it works like it should.

    No, he's fucked because he's a horrible candidate that pisses off well over half of the party he is running for.

    There's no following, we post in the same threads because I'm defending my candidate. I think you'll notice that I only post in the same thread as him when he makes bullshit claims like "Barack Hussein Obama" or "Obama into Intimidation".

    If I were to make a "Ron Paul is a racist" thread, I would expect him to step in and defend his candidate.

    There's no following.

    Okay I understand that Ron Paul can't control who endorses him as well as Obama can't controll what his parents gave him as a middle name....But that doesn't mean that Ron Paul is a racist infact he isn't rascist at all

    And neither is any other presidential candidate, so what is your point?
