this election, as well as the ones that got Bush (W) in. I was concerned with OH, since Tagg Romney just purchased the company supplying the voting machines to OH. Isn't that a bit of a conflict? Just a tad? Now, we go to TX and see the bullshit happening again. The only way these people are going to win is by cheating, and they're good at that. This is scary.
