Heres another one from the great Bradblog.
CNN’s Lou Dobbs: ‘The country has done very well with paper ballots for a very long time.’
Brad Blog
Excerpt:
In Friday’s Democracy at Risk segment Lou and Kitty look into the story from New York state where counties are beginning to question whether their voters should be forced to vote on electronic voting machines. Why should they not be able to keep the machines that have served them well for decades?
The text-transcript of Friday’s segment on Lou Dobbs Tonight follows in full…
DOBBS: Tonight, election official the all across the country, most of them alarmed about the threat that electronic voting poses to our democracy, many are deciding to simply reject e-voting technology altogether. These officials say it’s safer to use decades-old voting machines than to risk a free and fair election in which you can’t count votes
H.Ls. Take:
Watch out on election night when after Republicans lose big they start crying voter fraud, becuase of the same diebold machines that were put in in the first place.

HL if the Dem’s are so worried about voter fraud than why did they vote down a bill that would require all people to provide photo ID to be able to vote. Better yet why are the Dem’s fighting for the right to let illegal aliens vote. They aren’t Americans and they don’t have a right to vote here. Lets see if I remember right the vote went 228-196 with the Dem’s being the 196 now why would the dem’s not want voters to show photo ID that way there is no voter fraud. Well gee it wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the Dem’s can’t use dead people to vote for them any more would it. No it couldn’t be that.
Anyone who is not for showing Photo ID before they vote is a dumba*s and the only reason they would be againest it is beause they aren’t sure their party will win. There isn’t a person in the US that can go through this country doing anything and everything that everone does that hasn’t had to show a photo id at one time or another. You need them for banks, cashing checks, credit cards, buying alcohol, tobacco, to get a loan, to get a motel room, and the list goes on and on. I have been to every state in the US and I have needed my ID just about every time I stopped somewhere.

Dems don’t want photo ID for voting because poor people who don’t drive (who are almost all voting democrat) would have to get a passport to vote. You know how much a Passport cost. Close to $100, and if you are poor how can you afford that.
As far as Dems trying to get illegal aliens to vote that is Bull. You think Illegal aliens give a damn about voting, they are just trying to make a living.

First off HL you don’t need a passport to be able to vote they said any photo id. They used a passport as an example. You can get a state photo id from DMV for less than $20 and if you think that they don’t have an ID than how do they get welfare or any other assistance. You have to have ID for that.
Well here is one Dem for letting illegals to both work and vote.http://www.soundpolitics.com/archives/006284.html Here’s another one. http://boortz.com/nuze/200406/06222004.html
and don’t forget ole Gray Davis.http://www.geocities.com/nstix/arnold.html
Now as for them making a living that’s fine but they can take their ass back to mexico and do it. If they want to come to this country than they can do it just like most everyone here in this countrys ancesters did. Do it the LEGAL way. I don’t have a problem with someone who comes here legally but I do have a problem with someone who does it illegally.
