Do you *really* believe this?

I'm in Dallas, and I've seen some reports of reported
machine operational characteristics challenged by the
Democrats, in the early voting. They've retained the
machine manufacturer for diagnosis, but I think that
the problem has been reported as "voter error".

However, I've not seen any reports of anyone being
harassed, scared away, or photographed at any polling
site, or anywhere else for that matter.

Do you really think that *anyone*, while proceeding
to vote, would allow themselves to be denied that
process by these "poll bullies"?

I guess "harassed" and "scared away" are one thing,
but "photographed"? What would being photographed
accomplish?

These "poll bullies" can take my picture all they want
when I vote, I'll even pose for them.

Now, is this something the DNC thought up, or some-
thing you came up with. Do you have a reference for
this "newsworthy" item?
