[RamboLiberal]

Won't change results here in PA - but perhaps GOP will be ready to join with Dems to get paper trails?

In one of the most closely-watched US Senate races in the nation, some controversy started brewing before the polls even closed tonight.

The race between the two-term Republican Senator Rick Santorum and Democratic Challenger Bob Casey has been a heated battle throughout the campaign – from the political mudslinging to their contentious debate.

Now KDKA has learned that the Republican State Committee has sent a letter to the Secretary of State asking that voting machines in 27 counties that have been accused of being malfunctioning – be impounded tonight

The issue has to do with reports that some of the electronic voting machines were not working properly.

Pennsylvania GOP officials claimed there were reports that some machines were changing Republican votes to Democratic votes. They asked the state to investigate and said they were not ruling out a legal challenge.

3. Hey, they ought to impound Diebold's pay-off checks.

I am not afraid of any recount, but I don't want anyone touching a machineor a memory card without many other watchers standing right there.

4. By "malfunctioning" they must mean

"indicating votes for Democrats". OBVIOUSLY that's a malfunction.

5. Oh, that's just crazy conspiracy talk! Don't they remember what they said...

in 2004?

"The American people need to have absolute faith in the integrity of their voting system. So, don't go digging into whether or not it works."

Tough shit, Repukes!

We fucking told them so!

Hey...

What if Sequoia flipped all the votes from Repuke to Democratic, but Diebold flipped them from Democratic to Repuke?

That would be kinda funny.

But it would have been funnier if the machines attributed all the votes to write-in candidates Bev Harris and Andy Stephenson. Then people would KNOW they were tampered with.
