Hunh. Well, fair enough. I can't deny I said that.
This thread has actually opened my mind about that, since I posted that comment. I'm now willing to accept and believe that both parties have blood on their hands, and that this is something we all need to be perpetually vigilant about no matter what color your shirt is.
I still believe that it's
largely Republicans who use this tactic--and I still believe the voting machine companies are in bed with the GOP. But when you include things like vote suppression and casting of illegitimate votes, in particular, there are Democrats who have been just as shady.

Case in point: a local news channel in New Mexico reports on how a voting place in a largely GOP precinct
ran out of ballots two hours into voting.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, long-time VA-registered Democrat Tim Daly received this voicemail message yesterday:
Quote:

"This message is for Timothy Daly. This is the Virginia Elections Commission. We've determined you are registered in New York to vote. Therefore, you will not be allowed to cast your vote on Tuesday. If you do show up, you will be charged criminally."
