Quoi!

So the Romney family invests in voting machines? How interesting! Not only do they associate with creating jobs in China, but they also associate with tallying votes in Ohio. They seem to be inflicting pain on Ohio voters going and coming!

Voted this morning in Russellville, AR. No lines, but the poll worker questioned my ID and wanted something more official. I told her my work ID was acceptable 3 weeks ago when I voted in the school board election. She did let me vote, but it was weird. I opted for a paper ballot.

Here is the scoop on poll workers asking for voter id in Arkansas. The state law requires it but it allows for the voter to refuse. Yet, this is what I heard while waiting in line at the Faulkner County Library in good ole' Conway, Arkansas.

Just read something interesting at the New Yorker about Tagg Romney having connections with a company called Solamere Capital which has "business ties to a company called HIC" which owns voting machines in Ohio. Even if voter machine fraud is just a rumor why isn't someone investigating. I think a good part of the media (including MSNBC) are so fixated on their establlished election coverage that they have lost their ability to do real investigative journalism. We know that Bush had people in place in Florida (remember Katherine Harris) to effect the election the way they wanted it to go and we got stuck with that idiot Bush. There is an actual petition to get Eric Holder to investigate at change .org.

There was no line when I voted last week here in Ankeny, IA. But I got there right when they opened at 1PM.
