Hey, don't try to upstage us!   We just figured out the problem with
the Palm Beach County voters a while back.  Her name is Ann and she
isn't the smartest card in the deck.

Florida politics - the next reality tv show on Fox.

We have:
(cripple joke druggie) Limbaugh 
(I'll vote where I damn well want to vote) Coulter
(I didn't do it, but if I did this is how I did it) OJ
(Why doesn't Jeb love me) Harris (the woman in red)
(I was drunk when I said nigger) Arza
W's smarter brother, who thinks all the braindead have a right to life
scads of chads and pads
and the wild and wacky world of Miami politics, where the poor get
kicked out of the slums so they can be proper homeless people.

I have absolutely zero trust in electronic voting systems because there 
is no paper trail, no peer reviewed software and poorly designed 
equipment. Diebold seems to be the biggest problem. Their machines run 
Windows and the code is still a work in progress with constant changes. 
They even went so far as to use a lock whose key is commonly used on 
cheepo office furniture. They will not allow any sort of independent 
review of their software to verify program logic.

But courts, congress-people, prominent anti-racists, etc., have declared 
that failure to have Sequioa/Diebold systems in place is racist against 
non-whites!

Don't forget that Diebold is part of the conspiracy to Mexicanize 
the USA!!

So if you are an anti-racist, Diebold, Sequioa, etc., is on your side.
