Truth Chases Fiction
Dismaying New from New Mexico:
She went to Valle Del Norte Community Center in Albuquerque, planning to vote for John Kerry. "I pushed his name, but a green check mark appeared before President Bush's name," she said.
Griffith erased the vote by touching the check mark at Bush's name. That's how a voter can alter a touch-screen ballot.
She again tried to vote for Kerry, but the screen again said she had voted for Bush. The third time, the screen agreed that her vote should go to Kerry.
She faced the same problem repeatedly as she filled out the rest of the ballot. On one item, "I had to vote five or six times," she said.
Michael Cadigan, president of the Albuquerque City Council, had a similar experience when he voted at City Hall.
"I cast my vote for president. I voted for Kerry and a check mark for Bush appeared," he said.
He reported the problem immediately and was shown how to alter the ballot.
...
In Sandoval County, three Rio Rancho residents said they had a similar problem, with opposite results. They said a touch-screen machine switched their presidential votes from Bush to Kerry.

I had some faith in Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron (D) maintaining a decent polling environment, but I'm frightened that the roving bands of evangelicals who neither know nor care for the history of the places they take over have ruined the last state in the southwest where progressive decency was generally the norm. We apologize, but the locusts are upon us.
Suburb cities like Rio Rancho and Albuquerque's Northeast Heights have brought in large numbers of phobes and pinhead drones, ruining what was historically a tolerant high desert oasis. As of this writing we're still a grey state and I can only hope that Bill Richardson's minions will make sure that no Republican manipulation breaks up a realistic count, but the power of the Imperialvangelicals still looms large. They know how to march in lockstep, they practice absolute loyalty and they have no remorse -- it's going to take more cunning and creativity than we've ever mustered to figure out how to contain them.
