Fictitious elections

Reason’s Tim Cavanaugh helpfully rounds up all the vote fraud allegations in one place, while Slashdot’s CmdrTaco continues to parody DemocraticUnderground. (Oh, you mean he’s serious? Never mind.)

I’ll just join the bandwagon by complaining that I had to stand in line for 30 minutes in a fire station that was open to the elements at both ends to cast my votes, zero of which turned out to be pivotal. I blame Diebold; they had nothing to do with the electronic voting machines in Hinds County, but I think they’re vicariously to blame somehow anyway.

I voted in that fire station when I lived on the corner of Poplar and Jefferson in Jackson two years ago. Fun times. They had just started with the electronic voting machines in Hinds County.

 

What’s truly scary is that I’ll certainly be back there on Tuesday for the runoff, casting yet another non-pivotal ballot.
