#1 Interesting that the Kerry Campaign would have a position on this so quickly.

#2 Fmr Mayor John Street, on Fox, said he had personally investigated these claims and they were all false. Given Street's shady past and lies he's told in the past, you can rest assured theey got caught with their hands in the till.

#3 Street says the reports are false? Damn! The Kerrorists have probably massacred the local Repubs and set up their own caliphate by now.

#4 The last thing the mayor wants is an investigation into who has been pre-loading the machines and for how long. He could lose his pension.

#5 Fascinating, to me, is the fact that nowhere does the story (or anyone, for that matter) say who the votes were for, lol!

Rather remarkable, wouldn't you say, that no one even gives a thought, including the Skeery people, that such vote-rigging would be for Republicans?

ROFL!!!

Hmmm... The Dhimmigogues are doing all the barking, so...

#6 I thought Street is the current mayor?
Any "cheesesteaks" that can clarify for me?

#10 Mojo,

On the other hand, Frank Rizzo did vote today.

#11 "Dave D should know"

Yep. John Street is Philadelphia's current mayor. God, I'm so proud of Philly-- is this a great town, or what?...

#12 Yes Dave, Despite John Street and the overwhelming Dem support, Philly is a great town. Not that I actually live in it though, I bought my house in Lansdowne instead. Close enough to the city to go out to dinner or see a show without having to pay wage taxes for working or living. (Work in Bala Cynwyd)

I'd say go Eagles but I'm actually a Giants fan. (Boo, hiss...)

#13 The Post-Gazette has a story that states these machines have an odometer-like counter that records the number of votes the machine has recorded during its service lifetime. This apparently is like a car's odometer, as opposed to a counter that can be reset for each election, not unlike a car's trip odometer. It will be interesting to see if this pans out to be a non-story.

#14 These guys should have called the Daly brothers and imported some experts in voting machine tampering. In Chicago it's an art form.

#15 I voted very early in the morning, and noted that my machine had recorded 3 votes, which sounded reasonable given we had about 5 machines there.

I think it depends on the manufacturer, but it would be a bonus to have the machine keep track of BOTH number of votes it recorded over its lifetime, AND prominently display how many votes it had recorded THAT DAY. Thus, if a Repub was in early and noted that the numbers were not in the 10s, but in the 100s, I think some shouting would be in order...
