Certification of vote challenged

[Vandalous]

Link to article... (http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/06/electoral.vote/index.html)

"Citing widespread irregularities on Election Day, a handful of House Democrats and one senator objected Thursday to the counting of Ohio's 20 electoral votes, delaying the official certification of the 2004 presidential election results."

Discuss.

Yeah, the whole thing smells of corruption, but it's time to get over it. More partisan bickering like this isn't going to change anything.

"The Democrats said they were not trying to overturn President Bush's re-election but want to draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said were widespread voter problems."

hey fine with me... I'm tired of all these strange voter issues and count one goes one way, then another find some other votes but then.. BS... I don't even care about the winner at this point I just want to see those strange voter issues solved.

It should be getting better with the aid of computers etc and seems to be getting worse. I do understand that on some level it's a huge logistics problem and I'm sure most of the voter issues that get tagged as nefarious are really more of a simple "oops".. I can see a box of votes getting put in some other room, out of the way, then someone forgets. I don't think it's this big :tinfoil: attempt to over throw the gov..

Still.. this just should stop on some level.... If one can go and buy a lotto ticket at a machine anywhere.. punch punch punch ticket.. With all data ALL tracked in real time, results in real time, winners/loser by way of a bar code scan for just TONS of numbers for 180days + there HAS to be a way it would work for votes too..

Do that for votes.. print out my ticket.. Let me scan a database online later if I want for my ticket number that shows "ticket 1e89dhja72391 voted this way" as far as how it was counted and then we have no more issues.. ya would know your voted was counted if you wanted to check.. Paper trail, stat tracking.. etc etc..

Oh I know it would cost too much for the machine etc.. yeah guess have no money to spend HERE anymore do we?! sigh..
