#1 The very thought of a commission run by Jimmah Cahtah and Jimbo Baker makes me sceptical of its results, whatever actual merit they may have. It is hard to think of two more worthless scourges of the public trust except perhaps Bill Clinton and John F'n Kerry. Did I forget Algore?

#2 Some Officials Say Voting Law Changes And New Technology Will Cause Trouble...

...for the Democrats to remain in power by rigging the results as in Washington State, East St. Louis IL, Chicago, etc. and remove even more excuses to blame the loss on someone or something else.

#3 In Snohomish County, Washington State, they just went to forced-mail balloting (i.e. you *must* vote by mail) for the Primary.
The latest sampling shows that a full 20% of the ballots (so far) are invalid because the people didn't fill them out properly or didn't select a party affiliation.
I guess the good news is that conservatives are more likely to be careful - having experience in filling out tax forms and the like.

#4 This is what they wanted and now they're yammering.

Typical.

I know you are just kidding and that is funny. But as Stalin said, it is who counts the votes.

I used to vote in California as absentee military. In the 2000 and 2004 elections, they would never send my absentee ballot unless I called and made a stink. There was always some lame technicality. In 2000 they (finally) sent it so late I had to fedex it in.

ROFL!

I hadn't thought about it but you're right - moonbats living in Mommy's basement don't have to deal with real life, do they? ;-p

#8 CF: agree about the Sno Co ballots, but not confined to only that county; all acros the state an average of 15% are being rejected due to the lack of party affiliation indication. This stems from that Phuqued up State supreme court case where both the Dems and the Rebs said that we the people were taking away thier freedom of choice and it was in our best interest to blindly follow their advice. There is a lot of swirl about this and i predict atht there will be a case filed by Joe Citizen to overturn this turd of a law. When I did my absentee, I did not select any partisan races, but only went for the non-parts and levies. Mrs. RET has already said she is not even going to cast a primary vote.
At least we don't have talking cameras (yet).
