If Bush proved that you can rig the electoral voting system, should we go back to paper ballots?

Who cares if we have to round up a million volunteers to count the votes.....at least it would be honest.

If Bush proved that you can rig the electoral voting system, should we go back to paper ballots?
We should certainly not allow paperless voting, but we needn't go back to pure paper.





Scanned votes would be fine, since the marked ballots would be available for recount.





Ditto machines that provide paper backup.





The other thing we need to do is an amendment to eliminate the Electoral College, which allowed him to steal 2000 -- "All we need to do is prevent Democrats in Florida from voting, and we've won!"





I think we also need some system in place for when there wasn't in fact a real election, where voters were allowed to vote.





Saying, "Well, they clearly stole it, but there's no choice but to swear him in" is sheer insanity.





And that's what we've got.
Reply:It is so sad that people do not understand the electoral college. Just because you do not agree with the results, it does not mean it was rigged or whatever other crap you want to come up with. You claim Dems were turned away from the polls, I can also say Repubs were turned away as well. Report It

Reply:There is TONS of evidence of rigging -- Republicans removed Democrats in Florida from the voter lists. It happened. I know your side doesn't approve of fact, evidence, or reality, but some of us do. Report It

Reply:Yes, you can SAY Republicans were turned away, but there is no reason or evidence behind it.





Republicans ran Florida's system, and removed Democrats for having part of their names in common with people who died or were in prison, and for other bogus reasons. Report It

Reply:The Dems are traditionally the vote cheaters.
Reply:Republicans won, Democrats lost. Just admit it.

Reply:Goddamn, can't you lieberals lie better than that? It's getting old and it's still as stupid of a whine as it was two years ago.
Reply:What makes you thinks dems don't commit voter fraud.

Reply:Definitely, that should be a priority next election.
Reply:Spin it anyway you want to - face it, President Bush was elected, isn't it about time you dealt w/ it?
Reply:A paper trail is different from paper ballots and I have so few trees to hug.
Reply:But he wasn't proved to have rigged anything was he. Get over it. this from someone who believes in a party that wants people in prison who have been found guilty of major crimes to be able to vote. What ever happended to that liberal who was caught with a voting machine in the trunk of his car down in Florida in the 2000 election. I'll tell you not a damn thing lol.
Reply:Yeah sure, because 1,000,000 people can be counted on to be honest. Furthermore, that is how we do it now. Volunteers at local precincts counting paper ballots and the talley on various voting booths. Did you really think George Bush sat in a room all by himself and counted the 40+million ballots cast?
Reply:What an in accurate question. Please name the court case that proved that Bush rigged an electoral voting system? On the contrary Bush v Gore (2000) proved that the Constitution works, and our system works. Small states and rural areas should not be left to the whims of urban America. Our founding fathers knew it, why don't you?
Reply:Except for the fact that Bush never proved as such.
Reply:You forgot to check your conspricy theorist notebook again. The Dems claim violations in Ohio but we still use paper ballots. By the way all those claims were proven false.
Reply:wow, really can I see the proof of your idiotic accusations?
Reply:Are you sure your screen name is not Dumb Betty, as even with paper ballots, we would still rely on the electoral college to choose our President.
Reply:Well, when Bush does that, I may agree. He hasn't so all the what if waste of time questions are really a waste, don't you think.
Reply:why do democrats only speak of voter fraud when republicans WIN elections...never when they do...hmmm...
Reply:OMG you Lefties are just Nuts!!!! Rigging the election hmmm lets talk about that for a min shall we. Nancy Pelosi when does she want an end to the war or a pull out date?? Hmmm fall 2008?? Isnt that during an election?? Rigging hey I smell something funny and it isnt fish. Its dirty politics cant win honest got to cheat. Oh and during the last election wasnt it the Dems who slashed tires so that some known republicans couldnt make it to the poles?? hmmmm ya we're riggin and your cheatin!!!! Get a life really!!!
Reply:No, because, if you recall Florida, they had paper ballots, and all the problems with "chad and hanging chad, etc". What this country needs to do is have a voting period, say one week long. Everyone who votes or is eligible to vote must bring in their voter card and do a tamper proof ballot. Once the ballot is complete. A person checks to make sure that the ballot is filled out correctly, but if they try to tell the voter who to vote for, they will be immediately arrested. Have one person from each political party present to keep the others honest. Then manually count the ballots, ensuring that each ballot is numbered and in sequence, so that none are lost, misplaced or any other excuse that has been used in the past. Sure, it will be expensive, but the only other choice is the current system or lack thereof.
Reply:The votes weren't rigged. Al gore just couldn't stand the fact that he lost. He is such a poor loser. Democrats are the ones who proved the voting system can be rigged. Or is that why all those dead people voted for Clinton?
Reply:yawn....here we go again..another liberal in need of a fact checker...lets see the miami dade arguement..oh yeah, this is the one were the ny times paid for the study and in one of four scenarios it was debatable and only uneder very unusal conditions...cmon...


GROW UP


GET OVER IT


MOVE ON...YOU LOST OK.


the only thing bush proved is that the supreme court correctly issues rule of law and cant be bought or pressured by liberal whining. and speaking of liberal whining...using the same type of stated twisted logic it was proved that clinton was guilty of....





- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance


- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*


- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation


- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify


- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly


- First president sued for sexual harassment.


- First president accused of rape.


- First first lady to come under criminal investigation


- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case


- First president to establish a legal defense fund.


- First president to be held in contempt of court


- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions


- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad


- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court


Who cares if we had to bend the rules about lying under oath and campaign fraud and impeachment in office and conduct in the white house. etc, etc, etc.....do you see a correlation liberal???


sorry you lose on this one...have a nice day...


BWAAAAAH HAAAAAAAH





YOUR QUESTION HAS NO ANSWER AS THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM CLEARLY DID ITS JOB.
Reply:still want a recount do ya. figures. do you mean electronic voting system and not electoral system? what are you talking about?
Reply:The electoral voting system was compromised when it was a paper system. Remember the chads!
Reply:Heaven knows that it's simply impossible to rig paper ballots.
Reply:I think we should go back to paper ballots. Why do we have to have the results of the election within hours? The media is pushing the electoral process so they can maybe scoop their competitors. I would rather have elections that can be challenged and have a reasonable chance of being fair.
Reply:The volunteers are more dishonest. Take Washington states governor's election in 2004. they had 3 recounts and each time more ballots are found for the Dem's. Wouldn't you know it on the third count 200 plus new ballots are found in King County and now we have a socialist democratic Governor... yeah fair all right....
Reply:Nah, his term is almost over. Let him finish his term and elect a new person for 08.





Does that mean we need to redo the last elections as well. Did the Democrats rig that election.
