Wichita State mathematician says Kansas voting machines need audit

All I see is the usual brain defectives who fall instantly for the notion that democrats are perpetrating massive voter fraud, and have used that paranoid delusion to actually limit the rights of poor voters, tending to blow off any notion that there may be Republican generated voter fraud. If anything is done to try to put the issue to bed I'm sure we'll hear screams of funds wasted on frivolous investigations.

Complements to those of you who feel that voter fraud by anybody is wrong.

I would restrict my own complements to those who not only feel that voter fraud by anybody is wrong, but who also advocate a consistent approach as to what should be done to combat it.

People who vote "tea party" are more likely politically active, set in their minds, more likely to vote early. Those who vote later, tend to be those not entirely sure of their choice, and tend towards the safer option.

Or mess with the pollster by telling them you voted opposite of your real choice.

"Thorough investigation?" Why do we need a "thorough investigation" when we have an actual allegation of fraud? Republicans justify passing voter ID laws to prevent "voter ID fraud" that isn't even alleged to be occurring, in the name of "keeping elections honest," knowing that such laws cause a significant suppression of legitimate minority votes, votes which are overwhelmingly Democratic.

Here we have an actual allegation of fraud that involves a number of votes that dwarfs the tiny number of votes that may involve voter-ID fraud. Clearly, fast action is warranted. So let's quickly pass legislation that forces precincts where these statistical anomalies are seen to prove that their machines are hack-proof. And if no such proof is available, we don't count any votes from these precincts. The fact that such a law will overwhelmingly cause right-wing votes to not be counted is just, er, unfortunate. Yeah, that will "keep elections honest."

Uh oh, he's gone off the deep end again. Been breathing those green house gases too much again or something?

Thanks for the compliment then
