As Gov. Bush defends touch screen machines, his party urges using absentee ballots to "Make sure your vote counts."

BOSTON - While Gov. Jeb Bush reassures Floridians that touch screen voting machines are reliable, the Republican Party is sending the opposite message to some voters.

The GOP urged some Miami voters to use absentee ballots because touch screens lack a paper trail and cannot "verify your vote."

That's the same argument Democrats have made but which Bush, his elections director and Republican legislators have repeatedly rejected.

"The liberal Democrats have already begun their attacks and the new electronic voting machines do not have a paper ballot to verify your vote in case of a recount," says a glossy mailer, paid for by the Republican Party of Florida and prominently featuring two pictures of President Bush. "Make sure your vote counts. Order your absentee ballot today."

2. Wow.

3. So then I take it that they're conspiracy theorists?

I'm kidding, of course. Recommended.

The entire nation will finally know the election system is rotten to the core and the Corporate Media will still be sitting with their thumbs up their plums.

Earlier threads floating around ER forum reveal that even Republicans don't really have a choice in who they want.
