You can try and hide the racist remark....you well know that by calling in the CANNOT READ remark is directed at minority voters.....I have no doubt of this. and of course you are all in favor of changing the voting into a computer process that can easily be manipulated.... And GEE LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! Chip Glitch Hands Victory to Wrong Candidate Associated Press Houston Chronicle Monday, 11 November, 2002 ABILENE - A Scurry County election error reversed the outcomes in two commissioner races. A defective computer chip in the county's optical scanner misread ballots Tuesday night and incorrectly tallied a landslide victory for Republicans. Democrats actually won by wide margins. The problem was discovered when poll workers became suspicious of the margins of the vote, Scurry County Clerk Joan Bunch said. A new computer chip was flown to Snyder from Dallas, she said. By Wednesday morning, the votes had been counted twice by hand and once again by scanner with the replacement chip. Republican Robbie Floyd, 69, who lost to Democrat Jerry House, seemed agape even hours after learning of his defeat Wednesday. "It was hard to believe that that type of mistake had happened," he said. Incumbent Democrat Chloanne Lindsey said she had conceded the election to Republican Keith Hackfeld when she received a phone call at 3:45 a.m. notifying her of the discrepancy. Later Wednesday morning, he called to congratulate her. "I felt bad for my opponent," Lindsey said. "I knew how it felt to lose." CC
