In April, when the Republicans on the New York City Board of Elections killed a plan to repair voting machines that had underrecorded votes in the 2000 election (with most of the unlucky voters being Democrats), Republican Commissioner Stephen Weiner denied that his party's disinterest in properly functioning machines showed bias against Democrats: "There are some people who don't want (their vote) register(ed), but who report to the polls for civic reasons."

And there were democrats so stupid they voted for Buchanan...

Maybe they did it for "civic reasons". LOL

How does a dysfunctional machine know who the democrats are?

everyone should have the right to have their vote counted. That's what we're about. I think spin meant that in a traditionally liberal voting district is where the problems were observed.

Sounds fair to me!... :>)
