How's this for a Straight Party option?
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 01:34 PM by Bill Bored
Repubs get Bush;
Dems get Badnarik;
Kerry is not "endorsed" by ANY party whatsoever.
To vote for him if you're votin' straight party Dem, you have to first cancel your straight party and/or Badnarik vote, assuming you notice the "error" at all.

If you're a Republican for Kerry, you have the same problem.

Now can ANY of this actually be "programmed" into those votin' machines without hacking the "code" and all that other mysterious BBV stuff?

You betcha! It's just one of many valuable "features" of the GEMS software that programs Touch Screen/DREs BEFORE the election.

4. Now that's what I call saying it straight
I wonder if the ACVR knows about the corruption of these pre-programmed aggregator pull push machines?

I mean they're the american's center for voting rights, they all got to be well connected at least!
