Compare these two headlines on early E-voting I smell a RAT!
US media is SHAMELESS!

Early Voting Opens in Florida, Other States With Relatively Few Problems Reported
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=176083

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Oct. 18, 2004 — Voters began casting ballots Monday in the state synonymous with the election fiasco of 2000, but only a few glitches were reported on a day that marked the start of early voting in several states.


Long lines and computer malfunctions disrupt early US voting

MIAMI - Early voting for the US presidential election has begun in Florida as activists urged people to opt for early ballots to avoid a repeat of the 2000 election fiasco, but computer problems and long lines soon emerged.

With memories still fresh of 2000, when the race in the key battleground state was so close it triggered weeks of recounts and lawsuits, black and elderly voters in particular lined up to cast ballots two weeks before the Nov. 2 election.

2. When will...
The shooting start?

Not that I want it to. Oh no, gentle, lurking FreePeeZ, not at all. I have seen what that does to our country and it ain't good at all, no matter what your masturbatory fantasies might be. That said, how much more disenfranchisement will be tolerated, before the lid comes off this thing?

Now I am scared. Foresooth.

3. I saw the same two headlines
both on Yahoo! The first headline accompanied the lead news photo and the second was the second-leading headline of US news. Totally screwed up and shameless.
