That's bad, and it should be fixed.

Here in CT, in the last 2 governors races, they kept polls open later than they were supposed to, in big cities of Hartford and Bridgeport. Guess which way those precincts lean?

The reason given, was that 2 elections in a row, they didn't have enough ballots.

I mean, who knew you need ballots on election day? And they didn't learn that lesson from the previous election, to make sure they had enough next time?

It's kind of funny, that they had enough ballots in the conservative precincts, so those all closed on time.

i think election cheating is awful. But unlike you, I think it's awful when either side does it.

Despite the claims here that the GOP is essentially dead, it controls a decent majority of state governments. So they get to draw the lines.

Swing and a miss:

Had nothing to do with cheating - more incompetence on the local officials running the election.

And the amount of votes that were cast due to the error had no impact on the race.

it allowed more people to vote, only in left leaning districts. Am I going too fast for you?

Two elections in a row, the same exact "incompetence" happened in a way that helped the democrats. I for one, am shocked, yes shocked.

YOu have no way of knowing that it "allowed more people to vote"

Am I going to fast for you?

sure i do, i remember what happened at the time. the reason it was a big story, is because they didn’t limit late voting to those who were in line but couldn’t get a ballot.

you keep flip flopping in this. this is your third position that i’ve seen.

there’s no way it was random that they didn’t have enough ballots in section day, in two huge cities that are overwhelmingly democrat.

at least malloy and lamont have really turned things around, lowered taxes and paid off the debt. right?

You get what you pay(taxes) for. If it bothers you so much to live here, you should move. It might make you less angry and improve your disposition as all you do day in and day out is complain.

Then pull up a story bc I've never seen that there were additional votes.

So where was the cheating?

Last time I brought this up, you said it didn't result in a single additional vote (because you said, incorrectly, that the only people allowed to come back after 8:00 PM, were people who were already in line). Now you're saying there were additional votes, but not enough to swing the race.

I make no claims that it changed the outcome of the election. I only claim, correctly, that the same inconceivable mistake happened in two consecutive gubernatorial elections, and both times it guaranteed additional democrat votes, and both were close races.



Paul: We didn't cheat! And even if we did, we didn't need to, we would have won anyway! Nyah nyah!
