The rest of the sit authors ar welcome to update voting irregularities here as well, but long lines are NOT a voting irregularity. It’ll be the case in most places
Making Paper Easy: Pre-marked ballots for Spanish speakers
Voted a couple times, but that’s OK.
GOP poll watchers being tossed from polls in Philly, despite court orders.
100,000 Georgians apparently registered in other states as well.
Felons voting in Minnesota… from prison?
Intimidation at the poll entrance… by race???

All the more reason to update and secure the election system, instead of using voting machines without paper trails that were also crafted by a company with outspoken GOP sympathies.
Desperate enough to look for reasons to disqualify the results in all the swing states already?
Not desperate: as I stated earlier, I’m just hoping, if Obama is to win- that his margin is greater than the voter fraud component. I want whoever wins to do so in spite of the fraud, not because of it.
Fraud occurs every time and is growing simply because not enough is done to stop it; the penalties for its commission are inadequate.
BTW: Paper ballots are just as open to fraud; Things like ballot boxes already containing voted paper have occurred in the recent past. Paper trails are mainly for malfunction, not fraud.
OT: the market is over the 9,500 point that I felt was needed for McCain to stand any chance. We’ll see.
Hm.. Redundancies in the system are what I’m thinking about. I don’t claim paper voting is necessarily better than electronic voting, but having a backup copy of the voting records is a good idea. After all, if paper votes are faked, there’s a physical record present to examine. If electronic votes are altered, it’s another ball game. Things can be traced and examined in computers too, but many of the reports on the machines have reported that they’re susceptible to tampering. It’s just a simple fact that digital data is alot easier to manipulate that a huge stack of paper.
