Right...maybe we can simply have the offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys count the votes. They were all registered as voters in Nevada yesterday by ACORN! There's some real honesty...LOL !!

I guess I'm a little slow. I saw the article yesterday about the Cowboys. Now I get it. And that is quite funny.

Do you like McCains plan to bail out bad mortgage home owners?
I am sure this would not be extended to those of us that pay our bills.
35% of the bad mortgage is held by illegals will they qualify for a bail out by the rest of us so they can stay in their homes??? Do the middle class get to refinance at 5%?

What is the source of your 35% of bad mortgages are held by illegals?

I agree Lucy. There has to be more oversight, and IMO the machines have to go, or get someone who does not work for the company to oversee operations, or to even look inside into its makeup. No one is allowed to do that. And that should set off red flags, but it doesn't to the majority of the people. I do not wish my government to be fraudulent, but it is hard to believe they are not when the out polls are so off and no one is allowed to look into the voting machines. And they DO go both ways, unfortunately.

They need to follow a very basic accounting principle. There must be a verifiable paper trail or something else that would withstand a thorough audit. At the same time, though, there must be enough of a gap in the system so that we can maintain the sanctity of the "secret ballot."

Having worked as an elections inspector in past years, I still like the old-style mechanical-based voting machines. There was a reasonable auditing system in place, one that matched counters on the side of the machine and the voter log book. The biggest problem that those voting machines had was that they would age and have mechanical difficulties. Localities looked at the amount of money that repairing them would cost them, and then got "wowed" by the touch screens and other bells-and-whistles, and ended up getting sucked into buying unproven and relatively untested technology.
