Chesno Vote

Today is election and at about 7:50am or so I voted. I listened to the advice of my cousin and voted for people, not parties.

Now, at the polls I did not encounter:

1) Lawyers ensuring everything was going as planned.
2) Bribes of underwear, or Top Ramen to get out and vote.
3) Long lines.
4) Incompetent poll workers.
5) Any voter fraud at all.

It was smooth and easy. I hope the rest of the country finds the same. Although, with some already calling voter fraud in the days BEFORE election day, this may even get uglier than it already has.

Watch and you will see how this goes:

If one side wins, it will be assumed that the process went smoothly and with as little trouble as possible. There will be no recounts unless state or local laws so mandate in an extremely close race.

If the other side wins, there will be lawsuits claiming that votes were tampered with, machines were malfunctioning, voters were intimidated. There will be widespread demands for recounts--over and over again, until the final vote tally is (or can be made) "correct." Then all the hoopla will die down and there will be no more talk of voter fraud until the next election.

I'll leave you to determine which political party corresponds to which "side."

That's not hard Sooz. Now that the Dems have already won, calls for recounts are pretty non-existent.

I did find this pretty interesting concerning this issue though. From Michelle Malkin:
