10. So, you start out by calling me a liar...

although you haven't the foggiest idea what county I'm in, or even the state, or what the procedures here are.

Then, again without knowing anything about my background, you assume I know nothing about the technology.

If you were capable of embarrassment, you would hide for a while if you knew my background. Or if you saw what goes on at the polls here.

And then you insult me be calling me a peon in the system. Well, yes, since I retired and lost my pension, I prefer low-pressure work to pick up a few extra bucks to add to my SS and have several almost menial part-time jobs. Working the polls gives me about a thousand bucks a year most years, and whatever I do at BoE headquarters is volunteer work for the local Party, but it gets me lots of access.


And I for this I waited days?

I don't put anyone on ignore, but please just don't talk to me. I might, however, continue to attempt to correct any foolishness I may happen to come across so others will have a chance to not fall for such distortions. A hopeless cause, I know, but it's what I do.

BTW, I read your article about Columbia County, and if the major problem was overvotes, that's easily dealt with here on our systems, and the problem of not filling in the circle is also dealt with here. Just because they are incapable of or unwilling to deal with the machines does not make the machines bad.

(Did I miss the part where their statistical sample showed actual misreading of properly filled out ballots? Don't bother to answer-- I have my own sources.)
