Automatic Voting in Nevada

Having trouble deciding who to vote for?
Maybe you should move to Clark County Nevada.
Joyce Ferrara said that when she tried to vote for Sharron Angle, Sen. Harry Reid’s name was already checked. Her husband and several other voters experienced the same problem.

Voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle -- nearly all of that on Democrats. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU's top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year.

Unions increasingly have a major financial stake in election outcomes, both as a matter of their own election expenditures, and as a function of what they stand to gain if their legislative agenda is enacted. Should they really be responsible for tabulating the votes? That's certainly something voters ought to think long and hard about.

Voting is important as a voice, but it's a distraction tool. There is no true vote, it's already decided. The best way to use your voice is to not buy into these jerks. That's why designated days for not buying anything is so important. If enough people don't buy anything at all, all on the same day, it would bring these *ssholes to their knees. Why? Because it's a handful of bankers who run the planet.

This post is a no brainer the way I see it.

Diane - I don't often talk to anyone more skeptical than myself. That doesn't mean that I disagree though. I think you're right on about (big mega) bankers I would also add super rich and powerful like the Bilderberg Group.

Heff - I'm not sure what you mean. A no brainer because it is already known? I was just kidding about moving to Clark County.
