In Nevada, there seems to be a new way to take all the confusion out of voting. The Washington Examiner reported yesterday that a number of people voting in Clark County, Nevada walked into the voting machine to vote and found that Harry Reid's name was already checked off. I guess that takes the guess work out of voting! Seventy-five percent of Nevada's residents live in Clark County.
According to the article:
"Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.
"Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
""Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time--that's wrong.""
The article at the Washington Examiner points out that the voting machines are maintained by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The article lists the amount of money the SEIU has donated to Democrats this election cycle. There is no direct evidence that the SEIU had anything to do with the problem, but the situation is just not good.
Just a note about some of the Democrat tactics in this election. Cheating is one tactic, denying the military vote by delaying absentee ballots is another, and in Massachusetts we have seen the tactic of running third party candidates to split the Republican vote.
I will end this article with my usual statement--if you want to clean up the mess that is Washington D. C., vote Republican and then hold the Republicans' feet to the fire. I suspect the Republicans (having learned their lessons since 1994) will be much more responsive to the public than they have been previously.
