Nov 2012

my first question is: how many Democrats were affected, and how many Republicans? Was it equal? Was it all one party?

Disgusted with the problems we are having in this country with voting. We may just have to scrap voter registration and have everyone who votes dip their thumbs in ink. You would think that we were just trying to figure out voting. I never thought that I would see the USA as a country where elections are rigged. That happens in other countries.
