West Virginia Reality Television Show....

I am publishing this leaked sequence from the Simpsons which will be broadcast nation wide on Tuesday, November 4, Election Day.
I published it 2 weeks ago when it first became available, in the sequence, Homer tries to vote for Barack Obama, but the electronic voting machine keeps switching his vote to John McCain....When he starts to complain, screaming, "This can't happen in America! Maybe Ohio...", the machine sucks him into a tube and he wakens as the poll worker is putting an I have voted stamp on his forehead.
Well.....again, satire becomes reality, this time and article from the Charleston, West Virginia Gazette.

On the first day of early voting, people who voted for Obama watched in amazed horror as the machines repeatedly switched their votes to John McCain as well as other Republican candidates for State offices.
When the people who noticed what had occurred complained, the workers said "to hit the button a few times" a few hit the button more than a few times and the same thing happened.
The West Virginia Election officials explained this was just a glitch that could occur when the machines are moved out of storage and they need to be recalibrated.

What ever the explanation, it does not even begin to explain why we are trusting our elections to unsecure, hackable technology supplied by companies like Diebold with extremely close ties to the Republican party and the religious right.
This is why I believe the real battle of this election will occur on Election day at the polling stations all across America.
Please, when you vote, make sure your vote is the one you intended! Do not let this election be stolen....The dream of the Republican machine is for a squeaker, because they have it all in place to create the magic number 51.2%.
I have already voted on a paper ballot.
