Re: JAX ELECTIONS

        For those people not from Jax you may not know that Jacksonville had as many problems with the last election as places that were in the news more like Plam Beach Co. However since Jax's election wasn't close it wasn't publicized as much by the national news.
        Jacksonville specific problems in 2000: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2000/dec2000/flor-d13.shtml

        Hence the reason Jesse Jackson has such an interest.

> In the disastrous 2000 presidential election, an estimated 4 million to 6 million ballots nationwide were not counted or were prevented from being cast at all.

        6 million? I'd love to see his source for that, only 105 million voted http://www.multied.com/elections/2000state.html. Were did he get the number of people prevented from being cast at all?

        I agree that the high tech voting machines are bad. So bad that I feel they will be the major source of election problems in the up coming election. High Tech does not equal safe, accurate or secure, every computer industry person is saying so except the ones selling the voting machines.

        Article #2:
>Democrats were promising to bring 500 or more voters to the downtown elections office,

        What the article doesnt say is how. They are doing this. Apparently it is by bus, picking up people at public librarys for the sole purpose of voting. Are we going back to the days of Tammyani Hall where your taken to the election place so someone can make sure you vote the way they want?
        And now they are moving the early voting places into the librarys. How secure is a 2 week long vote taking place in multiple locations? The bottom of the article takes about them starting to discuss this but apparently it may already be happening. See article #3.

        Article #3
        Having 4 places to vote more 2 weeks is not a fair election. Its to easy for fraud to enter into it in that time span over when multiple locations are involved.
