ok .. so another case of whaaa? for vote counting…

In November 2004 during early voting in Precinct 13, Taos, New Mexico, John Kerry took 73 votes. George Bush got three. On election day, 216 in that precinct voted Kerry. Bush got 25 votes, and came in third. Third? Taking second place in the precinct, with 40 votes, was no one at all. Or, at least, that’s what the machines said. Precinct 13 is better known as the Taos Pueblo. Every single voter there is an American Native or married to one. We asked Dr. Philip Klinkner, the expert who ran stats for the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, to look at the New Mexico data. His solid statistical analysis discovered that if you’re Hispanic, the chance your vote will not record on the machine was 500% higher than if you are white. For Natives, it’s off the charts.

Then this made me sit up and take notice (emphasis mine)…

New Mexico’s Secretary of State, Rebecca Vigil-Giron [a democract!!], seemed curiously uncurious about Hispanic and Native precincts where nearly one in ten voters couldn’t be bothered to choose a president. Vigil-Giron, along with Governor Bill Richardson [a democract considering a presidential run!!!!], not only stopped any attempt at a recount directly following the election, but demanded that all the machines be wiped clean…

Holy effing touchscreens Batman!

…Vigil-Giron, after putting a stop to the recount, rather than schlep out to investigate the missing vote among the iguanas and Navajos, left the state to officiate at a dinner meeting in Minneapolis for her national association. It was held on a dinner boat. The tab for the moonlight ride was picked up by touch-screen voting machine maker ES&S Corporation. Breakfast, in case you’re curious, was served by touchscreen maker Diebold Corp.

How tinfoil can our hats get?…Here’s New Mexico, a state with a democrat governor and secretary of state, and they’re like .. “nothing to see here people…” .. are Dems just playing along in this whole democracy charade?..You gotta wonder what they’re thinking.
