Some early W.Va. voters angry over switched votes
Jackson County touch-screens switched votes, 3 residents say
At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting
for candidates they want to win.

At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting
for candidates they want to win.
Virginia Matheney and Calvin Thomas said touch-screen machines in the
county clerk’s office in Ripley kept switching their votes from
Democratic to Republican candidates.
"When I touched the screen for Barack Obama, the check mark moved from
his box to the box indicating a vote for John McCain," said Matheney,
who lives in Kenna.
When she reported the problem, she said, the poll worker in charge
"responded that everything was all right. It was just that the screen
was sensitive and I was touching the screen too hard. She instructed
me to use only my fingernail."
Even after she began using her fingernail, Matheney said, the problem
persisted.
When she tried to vote for candidates running for two open seats on
the Supreme Court, the electronic machine canceled her second vote
twice.
On her third try, Matheney managed to cast votes for both Menis
Ketchum and Margaret Workman, Democratic candidates for the two open
seats.
Calvin Thomas, 81, who retired from Kaiser Aluminum in Ravenswood in
1983 and now lives in Ripley, experienced the same problem.
"When I pushed Obama, it jumped to McCain. When I went down to
governor’s office and punched [Gov. Joe] Manchin, it went to the other
dude. When I went to Karen Facemyer [the incumbent Republican state
senator], I pushed the Democrat, but it jumped again.
"The rest of them were OK, but the machine sent my votes for those top
three offices from the Democrat to the Republican," Thomas said.
"When I hollered about that, the girl who worked there said, ‘Push it
again.’ I pushed Obama again and it stayed there. Then, the machine
did the same thing for other candidates.
"Why didn’t she [the polling clerk] tell me before I even used the
machine that might happen? And how many people, especially my age,
didn’t notice that?

didn’t notice that?
"Jackson County is a Republican county. I am a registered Republican,
but I have been voting Democrat since the 1990s."
Thomas, who brought his daughter with him to the polls, said she had
the same problem.
"After I finished, my daughter voted. When she pushed Obama, it went
to McCain. It happened to her the same way it happened to me. If the
poll worker knew that, why didn’t she tell me before I even pushed the
button?"
Deputy Secretary of State Sarah Bailey said, "When we received a call
about this, we immediately called the county and told them to
recalibrate the machines to make sure the finger-touch [area] lines up
with the ballot.
"Sometimes machines can become miscalibrated when they are moved from
storage facilities to early voting areas," Bailey said Friday. "We get
a couple of calls about this each election year."
Most voting machines in most counties do work properly, Bailey added.
Jackson County Clerk Jeff Waybright said, "After we got a call from
the Secretary of State’s Office, we recalibrated the machine. We had
already voted over 400 people with no problems."
Voting problems occur when voters touch the screen, Waybright said,
but do not put their fingers inside boxes for their candidates.
Waybright blamed the problem on voters.
"People make mistakes more than the machines," he said, "but I went in
yesterday and recalibrated the machines. We are doing everything we
can not to disenfranchise anybody."
Matheney remains concerned.
"Leaving the polling place," she said, "I wondered how many voters
might not have noticed that their vote was switched on the machine."

Vote early, vote often?

Fifteen days before the election, serious gaps remain in the public’s
knowledge about the health of the presidential and vice-presidential
nominees. The limited information provided by the candidates is a striking
departure from recent campaigns, in which many candidates and their doctors
were more forthcoming.
Hey, Scott, did your kids or grandkids from Israel come over to Fla to
urge you to vote for Obama?
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! You have to be kidding me!!!!
WELCOME TO THE GREAT SCHLEP
The Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their
grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the
crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida?
Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change
happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama.

Off On The Great Schlep
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — If you need proof that this is the most important
election in a generation, get this: Jewish grandkids are flying to Florida
to visit their grandparents — without being guilted into itwithout being
guilted into it — to talk their elders out of voting for John McCain.
The Jewish Council for Education and Research — a new pro-Obama political
action committee — is organizing "The Great Schlep," in which hundreds of
Jews will make the Southern exodus on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 10-13.
They will travel to the Fort Lauderdale area, where they will visit their
grandparents, organize political salons in their condos and eat incredibly
bad food. The grandkids also will meet up at a bar one night, which — if
the psychological impact of spending a few days with frail, elderly,
widowed relatives is taken fully into account — may do more to repopulate
the world’s Jews than the creation of Israel.

OK go on record, whomever is left that supports "Jim Crow" McCain…
I’m sure this thread will grow quickly with a plethora of hateful,
fearful, willfully and otherwise stupid/ignorant replies.
With GWB it was about the war… no excuse at all for "Jim Crow"
McCain supporters however. Bring ‘em on, RIght Wingnuts!!!
Unless, that is, the remaining "Jim Crow" McCain supporters are too
cowardly to speak up. That would be typical — those who hate based
on race are a very cowardly lot of people

The AC lines are connected to the condenser, which is mounted in front of
the radiator. The thin lines connected to the radiator are for transmission
fluid.
