McCain looking to extend South Carolina poll hours

Source: CNN

CONWAY, South Carolina (CNN) – A top backer for John McCain’s presidential bid tells CNN the Arizona senator's campaign is seeking a court order to extend voting in Horry County by one hour, after learning voting machines in this eastern part of the state were malfunctioning on primary day.

State Rep. Tracey Edge, R-Myrtle Beach, said the campaign was trying to find a circuit court judge to issue the ruling.

"We are seeking an order to extend the voting time, because of reported and publicized information that people were turned away from the polls,” Edge said.

All polls in the South Carolina Republican primary are scheduled to close at 7 p.m. ET. Complicating matters for McCain, the county has just one resident circuit court judge, who they have not yet been able to reach. McCain won Horry County when he ran for president in 2000.

whoopsie! those pesky wittle machines!

is chock-full of military retirees--that's why McCain's so desperate for that vote.

what do you call it when a puke acknowledges the failures of electronic voting?

and the irony here is palpable. I can smell from Richmond.

"I decree that thou will keepest the polls open till I say they can close. Cindy, where's Scalia's phone number?"

--be done with their "early-bird special" dinners by 5pm?

...who if there were a machine malfunction next week would be told to "get the F out and go home - you cant vote" by Republican poll-runners. "NO extensions!!!!!!!! you illegal scum."

you're an idiot.

--and not that far away from being an old person.

Make a few ophone calls to the Establishment and Poof! it's done.

instead of the machines that work perfectly for Republicans.:P

Why can't he just get fucking drunk and go home?
