He never siad that there were adequate voting machines. It's a lie to say that he said that. Did you READ what was written or are you dip****'s other account?
Before the Nov. 2 election, the elections board allotted each Cleveland precinct one machine for every 117 registered voters within its boundaries - the same ratio of machines that suburban precincts received.
..And in the end, the busiest precincts - when measured by the number of ballots cast per machine - were actually in the suburbs, not Cleveland, according to a Plain Dealer analysis of records from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Countywide, voters cast an average of nearly 71 ballots on each of the county's 8,000 machines. In Cleveland alone, voters cast an average of 62 ballots per machine. In the suburbs, the average was 74. That's "adequate", dlot. And the "problems", if they occurred, occurred where there were FEWER, not MORE, voters per machine. That HARDLY indicates a shortage of machines.
The lines formed for a number of reasons: waves of new voters; inexperienced or overwhelmed poll workers; a crush of voters during peak hours; and general confusion at larger polling sites that host multiple precincts. Did you miss that?
Oh. He DID mention those lines. He isn't denying they occurred. Strangest thing.
....Sharon McGraw, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Cleveland Educational Fund, has already done her analysis. She said "logjams" at some locations were partly the result of first-time voters relying on poorly trained or confused poll workers. She recently reviewed the Nov. 2 problems with other representatives of the league.
"It should move smoother, and part of it comes down to human errors, and part of that was confusion created by all the lawyers and everybody involved," she said. The League of Women Voters is HARDLY noted for its conservatism, dlot. There was probably not a Bush vote in the outfit.
Now are you man enough to apologize to JLA or not? |
