Why are republicans not pitching a stink about bad voting machines?

Answer 1

Simple answer here:

You rarely hear a republican bring up this issue because in the back of their mind they know that if the machines are rigging elections, that they are rigging them to help republicans.

It's called a double standard and is just another thing to show you how republicans lack integrity and honesty.

Answer 2

Simple these are probably built like the ones in Florida so they will win any election that these machines will be used in. Since a voting machine unlike an ATM leaves no paper trail who is to know.

Answer 3

Because Democrats are arrogant enough to believe that if they lose an election, it is because foul play was involved and Republicans have the intestinal fortitutde to take a loss at the ballot box without whining.

Answer 4

That's not in the republicans nature. They graciously take defeat and not blame the voting machines for their loss.

Answer 5

Because liberals are too stupid to punch a hole in a card. Hey Fla do you know how to punch a key on a computer. If not trained chimpanzees will be allowed to help if you encounter any problems!As for your moronic question go get a piece and quit your damn crying

Answer 6

Because there is nothing wrong with the voting machines. They understand that.

Answer 7

Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election.

O'Dell attended a strategy pow-wow with wealthy Bush benefactors - known as Rangers and Pioneers - at the president's Crawford, Texas, ranch earlier this month. The next week, he penned invitations to a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser to benefit the Ohio Republican Party's federal campaign fund - partially benefiting Bush - at his mansion in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington.

The letter went out the day before Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, also a Republican, was set to qualify Diebold as one of three firms eligible to sell upgraded electronic voting machines to Ohio counties in time for the 2004 election.

Blackwell's announcement is still in limbo because of a court challenge over the fairness of the selection process by a disqualified bidder, Sequoia Voting Systems.

In his invitation letter, O'Dell asked guests to consider donating or raising up to $10,000 each for the federal account that the state GOP will use to help Bush and other federal candidates - money that legislative Democratic leaders charged could come back to benefit Blackwell.

They urged Blackwell to remove Diebold from the field of voting-machine companies eligible to sell to Ohio counties.

This is the second such request in as many months. State Sen. Jeff Jacobson, a Dayton-area Republican, asked Blackwell in July to disqualify Diebold after security concerns arose over its equipment.

"Ordinary Ohioans may infer that Blackwell's office is looking past Diebold's security issues because its CEO is seeking $10,000 donations for Blackwell's party - donations that could be made with statewide elected officials right there in the same room," said Senate Democratic Leader Greg DiDonato.

Diebold spokeswoman Michelle Griggy said O'Dell - who was unavailable to comment personally - has held fund-raisers in his home for many causes, including the Columbus Zoo, Op era Columbus, Catholic Social Services and Ohio State University.

Answer 8

Because they've been programmed to count votes crookedly in their favor.

Answer 9

there are no bad voting machines,just sore losers,that will not accept or understand that all people,do not think like them.

Answer 10

Because they are not out ahead of the elections looking for excuses for when they lose.
