Will Jeb rig Flordia?
Jeb Bush refuses to allow an independent examination of electronic voting machines in Florda, saying he has every confidence in his state election officials. "I'll bet he does"
Is there any update on what will take place?
Lida Rodriguez of the Miami Dade Election Reform Coalition reported
that unless Flordia does something now....its headed in the same
direction.

question.

5. We should demand that the Florida votes don't count in the electoral
tally. Demand it now - before the fact.

Seriously, are there lawyers working on it? What strategy is possible against this sinister-sadistic family member?

6. Like a 100 foot schooner, he will.
Bushco could teach sailors a few things about rigging. It's the family's heritage.

7. COUNT ON IT!
Take it to the bank. The only countermeasure right now for Floridians (of which I'm one) is absentee ballots. But hurry. They're trying to find a way to clamp down on that.

10. The best predictor of what will happen in the future is what has happened
in the past.

Rigging the election worked last time. Of course he'll do it again.

13. Do ursine mammels defecate in aboreal regions?
He'll try. We'll have to win by 5+% so he doesn't get away with it.

This should be easy, except that the media is against us. Again.

15. You would think
That they would have some strategy to help prevent this again.
Highly unlikely though hard to do with Jeb in control.

16. No doubt.
I remeber discussing this with a friend and I claimed they wern't stupid enough to try it again in the full light of day. When it was discovered that Jeb was once again purging voter roles, my buddy let me know in no uncertain terms that I didn't understand the criminal mind at all. No matter how close to failure they come, they will always try again until they are caught. This year will be no exception.
