Wow, you make Eleanor Clift seem logical.

Read the article. 26 people per minute "were confused", and according to you, too embarrassed to help themselves but eager to cry to a poll worker, who btw is not supposed to be reporting to Democrat party officials.

..Why isn't your side still claiming those 20k votes? I admit at first the media had me going. But where are they now? Nowhere, because it is a Democrat fraud. I am happy to leave it at that, and all the media instilled speculation that Republicans stole this election are just that - speculation. And as any good gin player knows, never speculate.

>they were too embarassed to tell anyone they screwed up
yes that is a good reason to stop the world. A person's support for the leader of the free world was not fixed because the they were too embarassed to tell. I always wonder when I read arguments like this if all supporter of Al Gore are in some secret Government program where they have special secret toilet's that they use because they never figured out how to wipe their own bum.

This seems like the only reasonable way to explain the need to have special cases declared when a democrat cannot assume personal responsibilty for what they do,

Poor democrats.

<< they were too embarassed to tell anyone they screwed up >>

And this is a good reason to screw up the entire country? Do you HONESTLY believe that?

This is reality, buddy. It's simple:
You screw up. You either:
(1) fix the screw-up, or
(2) accept the consequences.

Just like you can't vote if you're under 18, maybe we need a law that you can't vote if you're over 80.

You know, that ballot really isn't that tough. If you're not smart enough to vote it correctly, maybe you're not smart enough to be voting.

You can make all the excuses you want for these people, but their lack of mental acuity has potentially created a serious crisis. Maybe a lot more serious than we see yet.

<< Some younger voters might have figured that they could keep pushing and only the last vote would count >>
And if they're dumb enough to believe THAT, they definitely shouldn't be voting.
