Bad news in Loudoun County VA: Paper AND Vapor

[electropop]

I was apalled today when the poll worker said "You can choose paper or the touchscreen." Oh SHIT. We've always had mechanical lever machines, and in recent years, optical/paper ballots. At least these have the theoretical hope of audit/recount. I didn't think we'd succumb to the beast here in Loudoun. AAAArrghhh.

1. Oh, bummer

and Loudon has been experiencing a surge in Dem votes lately due to the "new growth."

2. Lots of new Dems: KKKarl, we need a load of Diebolds PRONTO!

"This could be bad: we might lose Frank Wolf and George Allen."

3. hey, if they're going to vote make them pay income tax

if they represent, 10,000 phantom voters at 1700 actual assessed tax after deductions and refunds, hmmm, that equals that's a nice little hefty chunk of change.
