Even that's not true. A number of districts are planning on throwing out their new equipment.

The notion that there's no whining because the dems won is pretty silly.

Yep, if the Dems lost you know damn well Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over the place bitching an whining, but with the Dem victory they are amazingly silent. Isnt it amazing that when the Dems win, the elections are totally perfect?! No blacks and minorities being disinfranchised. Its truly amazing!

People are disenfranchised every election, you just don't know about it.

If there's a close race, then people look at the issues more closely and it's gets national press.

But considering this was a blowout, there isn't the national focus. It doesn't mean that local districts aren't working on local issues.

Blowout? There were 3 or 4 Senate races alone that were razor thin. But the Dems won, so they looked the other way and didnt play the disinfranchised card.

If they truly cared about people not being disinfranchised, they would go after anyone who believed had a case. But they dont, they only make a big stink when they get thier asses kicked. If they win, they turn the other cheek and look away.

hypocrytes? I think so.

Completely...

I wasn't a close race. If it was close and the GOP could have maintained control they would have sued retired poll workers to get the job done.
