David Corn and Richard Wolfe are full of crap

Just saw them on Tweety saying it's sour grapes that maybe a couple of votes might be caused by voting machine tampering.

WTF??? How can these people have their heads so far up their butts?

that voting machines are tampered with. We don't even know how many machines in Pennsylvania have been tampered with...only that 2 have been taken out of service.

I'm sick of the ignorance on this subject.

mathews was talking about the o to r flip, then he brought up the GOP talking about a r to o flip. Only the o to r flip has a video... were they dissing all allegations or just the undocumented r to o flip?

I thought they were all saying that issues with voting machines, long lines at polls, etc. were big problems. Corn said that if the election is not close then the problems become footnotes, but if it's close then these issues will come to the forefront. They were also saying it was embarrassing for the nation that people should have to wait for hours and hours in order to vote.

But both these guys are strong Dems. I am hoping what they mean is that the turnout is so tremendous that a few that get messed up won't matter. There are also RW claims that machines are flipping Rmoney votes to Obama. I don't think either of them thinks that tampering is a minor matter.

He said that hopefully the small percent of problems could be overcome with a wide margin in favor of one or the other .. paraphrased.
He never said it wasn't a problem

NO ONE knows if its a big deal or not. TV talking heads have an obligation to tamp down any speculation that voting is a fucked up rigged sham designed to keep the sheeple in line. Don't blame them - they have a contractual obligation to protect the status quo.
