While it has been quite fashionable to blame retards who can't use a butterfly ballot in Florida for Bush's win in 2000, what is largely forgotten is that the Chicago corpse constituency was equally important for Kennedy's win in 1960.  Surprisingly, dead people seem to have overwhelmingly voted Democrat.  Dead Democrats and stupid Democrats seem to be quite influential. 

Chicago?  Hmmmm.  What politician from Chicago is running for election this year?

Again, you ignore the rebuttal to you claim about the irrelevance of a criminal record while being an employee of a voting records company.




Dude, you're harping on a straw man argument that I never made, even after I explained that the article is relevant because of the practice of swapping out memory cards.

Incorrect. No strawman involved.

Why post it if it's not relevant? I believe you were making the point that it is relevant somehow.

I've explained twice now why that article is relevant.  The guy defends the practice of switching memory cards and several counties in NH admitted to having wrong tallies.  Interestingly enough you've taken my quote out of context and excluded the part that is most relevant.

Meanwhile you're completely ignoring all the other evidence I've shown relating to rigged elections, going back to the strawman issue you created.  I never claimed that his criminal background PROVES he helped rig elections.  I mentioned his criminal record because it is a fact and criminality is generally seen to make a person less credible.

If you don't see it that way, fine, but don't ignore the real issues of swapping memory cards, software that is completely insecure (you can find info on their insecure hardware too), and elections that have been proven to be rigged, only to focus on one detail that proves nothing.  That is the definition of the strawman tactic.

I don't know what this guy did to get busted for selling drugs.  Maybe he sold a dime bag of weed, maybe he was running a huge distribution ring.  Maybe he was a passafist, maybe he had people killed without a second though.  I don't know.  I mentioned it simply because it was mentioned in a relevant article.  To assume his criminal background means nothing is as nieve as assuming it proves something.  I did neither.

'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison
