the machines should have printed receipts that could have been dropped in a box alongside the machines.... with no paper trail, wtf is the point of a recount?

I was wondering about this last night. This is why we really need to have a paper trail.

erm...Ok? Is a recount not REQUIRED if it is within 1/2 %? I know the state pays for it if its that close...but not sure if its required but i'm pretty sure it is.

So don't try to blame someone for a recount when they aren't requesting it.

They should do it like this. If he wants a recount he get it but if still he is the loser (most likely) then he should be hung and publically stoned....

Oh please... like Gore conceded like a man?
How about Kerry, when did he conceded? The day after even though his only hope, Ohio, was won by Bush by over 100,000 votes.

I am sure if Webb had lost by 7500 votes we would not see you guys calling for him to concede.
there is only one post with that view :confused:

I'm a Democrat, and I think there should be a recount. As long as Allen goes, "you know what, this election was close and even though the odds are against me, I'd like a recount. There's a lot at stake here." There can still be a recount without dragging Virgina through the mud and I think it would be an excellent public test of the e-voting results assuming they will count the printed receipts in the window.

I don't think it matters at this point what happens with Allen. He has shot himself in the foot the last two months and it appears he is going to lose an election he should have won handily. He was once considered a leader to get the Republican nomination in 2008, and much like John Kerry, any attempt to run for president appears to be completely dead in the water.

I would think the fact that your thread with this picture was locked would be a sign that you should not post it again... I guess asking you to act like an adult is to much though.

As posted by Non-Prof John---Yes Democrats won big, good for them, now time to look towards the future instead of talking about failures of the past.

For a person who dwelled on past democratic failures---and made some rather now discredited preductions about the future----your posted statement is a wee might too self serving. And you are asking us to go light on you---and not point out how wrong you were.

But we liberals are all too human also---and at the sight of a now prostrate Non-Prof John--shocked, stunned, flat on his back, and totally defenseless---please expect that many of us are now going to have this irristable urge to jump up and down for joy on your now prostrate body---and give you a few kicks and dope slaps to boot.---and also a few we told you so's.--its just human nature.

Take it like a man John---it only hurts in a ritualistic sense---but someone had to be the next Zendari.
Now maybe you and Katherine Harris can trot off---in search of Zendari---at that undisclosed location
discredited people must go off to---for a very leagthy re-education program---once you complete that
program---then you can rejoin the group of credable people.

Dear ProfJohn,

The people have spoken and said your inept "leaders" will be no more. Deal with it. Out with the old, and in with new.

Love,
Speed

Fixed for you.
