No Kerry buttons allowed...

[Winfield Hill]

Do NOT wear Kerry gear (tshirts, hats, etc) when you go to vote.

It is against voting regulations and poll workers have been instructed
to enforce this rule! This rule applies in MOST if not ALL states. The
boundaries vary from state to state but please check with your election
commission before doing this. It would be sad to wait in line for hours
to vote only to be turned away when you get within the allowed boundary.
Please help spread this information!

I've even read somewhere where they're advising everyone to bring their
camcorders, cameras, tape recorders, picturephones - as much equipment
as possible to watch for violence or coercion of _any_ kind, and nail
the violent ones, without regard to race, creed, color, religion, or
political affiliation.

Remember, Bush is a dangerous liar and mass murderer.
Would Jesus have you vote for the antichrist?

But by all means, wear your Bush hat, glasses, T-shirt, sweat shirt,
jacket, undershorts, pants, shoes, socks, the works. :&gt

So what happens if Bush or Kerry go to vote wearing a T-shirt with a picture
of themselves? Come to think of it they should not be allowed within the
election office boundaries and therefore cannot vote.

Win's *not* a Brit and queuing here in Britland simply doesn't happen.
All you need are more polling stations! What's so hard about that?

I've got NO idea why elections have to be so difficult, technically. Here
in Germany, elections are always on a Sunday from 8am to 6pm, your voting
station is no further than five minutes on foot (typically set up in a
school building), and within five minutes you're done. The ballots all
look alike, the votes get counted by hand, and by the next day the
official result is known (and the ballots are kept for a while in case
there's some glitch).

Voting on Tuesdays is stupid, and voting on Tuesdays with voting machines
that leave no paper trail is even more stupid.

I don't see the attraction of machines. Only the government sector
would spend money on a machine that has a life of perhaps 10 years and
is used for only half a day once every 4 years.

Yes, but you folks also manage to run your trains on time.

--Daniel

Certainly voting machines that leave no paper trail is stupid. I was

listening to an interview of Jimmy Carter the other day; he mentioned
that were it to ask, the US would be turned down for monitoring by his
voting rights project, in part because of the lack of easy traceability.

Hey, that's good news!
No sane person wants Jimmy Carter within a thousand miles of an election.

He was the one who moved the inflation rate to over 14% and did so much harm
to this country we have yet to recover.

If you have to ask what damage, you to young to remember!

Oh, come ON!

How far do you have to reach to find somebody to hold up as a target
for your innate hatred?

Thanks,

I don't see the attraction of [voting] machines.

I do. They count fast and accurately.

And so do humans. I've done it a couple of times -- it doesn't take that
long, and it's fun as long you've got enough tea to drink and nice people
around you.

Of course our machines are
optical scanners, one per precinct. ...and there is a paper-trail.

That's sensible, if still superfluous. And I bet it's a lot more expensive
than just paying a bunch of volunteers $50 apiece.
