Reply #91: Not really, Anne: The republicans OWN the voting machines [View All]

And if they didn't, you can BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR they wouldn't be screwing so many thousands of voters at a whack. They can do whatever they want now, because no matter how bad it gets, they will still be able to keep whatever control they want to over the lawmakers. Here's how it works:

As "republican" becomes a dirty word, the vote machine programmers allow just enough "wins" for the Democrats to fly under the radar of alerting too many voters that the fix is in. But, they ALSO get to control the primaries, so the Dem voters that are allowed to win primaries and run against repukes, are ALSO the Dem voters that are going to go easy on republican corruption. So, they avoid the danger of absolute republican collapse.

They MAY allow one of the houses of congress, and possibly even the White House, to fall to Dems. But if BOTH houses fell to Dems who were unfriendly to the corporate masters, then the republicans criminal activities would be totally impeached. They can't allow that. So, no matter who we run or elect, you can TAKE IT TO THE BANK that republicans will control enough seats that republican criminal mafia operatives will still get a pass.

Until the voting machine fiasco is taken care of, there's no way we're going to clean up our government.
