When I take the time to logon and read the ravings of loons I confirm the that very thing. This is a very serious matter. The mere alligation of Election Fraud is not to be taken lightly. I have read the article, I have inquired of residents of the Precincts for the polling station, and I have seen the picture. You people should be afraid. This is most certainly a matter worthy of fear.

The most common complaint about modern voting is the electronic machines. The privatization of voting has left us vulnerable to so many unnescessary evils. The argument that the machines can be hacked is more than valid. It has been proven. The electronic counting program can be rigged. That too has been proven. There might even be a conciencious, patriotic hacker exercising his or her right to vote with electronic disrupters in their pocket - who knows? These things can be fixed, but there is always a better mouse trap. It up to us to execute oversight through the insistance of our representatives to legislate and up to us to exact justice when that oversight fails.

But, when a polling station has misrepresented the voters, it demonstrates the worst case scenario in the breakdown of democracy. This leads to the unavoidable truth: somewhere someone is benefiting from this malfiesence. Whether it is a harmless mistake or a conspiracy to defraud the public trust it is a gross injustice and it needs to be rectified.

Meanwhile, you people get on here and tear into one another as if it was more important than the matter at hand. I have spent a great deal of time in Missouri City recently. What I see here I see out there. Contentious people everywhere are wanting to make there point heard, but the point is overlooked by resentment and frustration. It is a shame; with all of the accusations about the state of affairs in Missouri City you would think that you might want to keep your eye on the ball.

Quit tearing into eachother and focus on the problem.
