Col. Davis, according to his Howard University bio, is a prominent human rights lawyer, retired Air Force colonel, and former Gitmo chief prosecutor. His resume is pretty impressive. Pretty sure he knows how to work a voting machine.
We can send a man to the moon but we can’t operate an election. But yes, let’s create a Voter ID requirement so complicated that thousands of women are disenfranchised and even the former speaker of the United States House of Representatives can’t get an ID. (For the record, I know Virginia and Texas are not the same, but Virginia’s Voter ID law goes into effect in 2014, just FYI.)
Remember to vote today, folks. And after you vote, check your vote. Then double-check it. Because when Republicans are in charge of your state government, nothing functions, not even the most fundamental element of our democracy.

Oh, it functions alright. Exactly as designed.
I’m going to vote in a little while. Lots of R’s run unopposed in this county because they have stupid constituents–well, at least the ones who vote for them.

is both a surprise and a big ol’ FUCK YOU to the morons who don’t understand how DoD works where their NG is concerned. Stupid, bigoted fucks, getting their comeuppance from a guy I heartily dislike, who was until very recently a popular NE pol.
Democommie, I’ve been watching from my side of the Beltway and I wish you luck voting! May your vote be the one that makes the difference.
This is why, if you have a voting machine, you insist upon a paper trail that can be independently verified. Of course my ballot is delivered to me anyway…
It works just fine as long as you either don’t vote or vote R.
