CNN

THERE THEY GO AGAIN..........THE LIES-FEAR-HATE-AND-DIVISION MONGERS!

I am old enough to remember what was said during the 50's and 60's whenever Democrats ran for office.

The Republicans are MASTERS of lies, hate,FEAR and division! They 'believe' that they are the "true Americans"........ ONLY they are Christians!

But if you look at the Republican record you will see the the LIES they tell.

PLEASE AMERICA, LET'S REJECT THE LIES, HATE, FEAR-AND-DIVISION THAT THE REPUBLICANS SPEW!

(please boycott Fox News)

How said this is. I live in Oregon and we mail in our ballots for every election. Don't understand why the rest of the states don't vote like we do. No long lines to stand in, no voting machine malfunction, no hanging chads, vote in the privacy of your own home on your own time. It's the best, and we never have had any voting problems.

Silly people ask about Obama's skeletons but conveniently ignore McCain and Palin's many skeletons

Conservatives-you are sending your children to the universities so that they can be taught to hate you. We have allowed the liberals from the 60s to get into the educational system and destroy their minds. I raised my kids with too much and now I see that any values I have tried to instill in them are being undermined by the liberal agenda. I heard a saying once that the communist would destroy the US by getting its ideas in from the inside and I am afraid we are seeing the manifestation of that in this election. I can not believe that I am seeing this happen to my country that I fought for!

People screaming socialism and spreading the wealth, that is a bunch of crap!! If your falling for that then think about this. Elect McCain and Palin with no job and the economy the way it is you won't have any "wealth" to spread.

VOTE OBAMA, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!! LONG LINES SHOW CHANGE IS COMING!!!! RECORD NUMBERS TUNRNED OUT TO VIOTE EARLY IN MOST STATES!!!

vote for the god of good , the god of all wisdom,, the god of america,,, may god bless the united system of states,,, go obama,, he is the god of all,, he rules ,, all of us,, he is wiser than all,,, he is our god,, bow , to

Obama is buying votes.

Just what is Obama's plan – is he a Marxist? Is he a socialist? Or he is just an empty clanging sloganeer who has no plan? Will the real Obama please stand up.

To the educated Joe the Plumber who cannot spell the conjunction "are not" as aren't, and not arnt...

How is it democratic to only let one party submit absentee ballots? Furthermore, how can anyone deny letting the people who serve our country, regardless of their political preference, have a chance to vote in this historic election?

No matter who you're rooting for, get out and vote! Vote early, vote on November 4th, whatever - just let your voice be heard!

Obviously a couple of people on here that drank the Koolaid over at Fox News (which will soon be renamed GOP News).

1. Voter fraud has not occurred........Voter registration is what is in question. So unless Mickey Mouse or Deputy Dog show up to cast a ballot on Nov. 4th, there is NO voter fraud.

2. Regardless of party or canidate , these absentee ballots should count.

3. The goverment has left voting processes up to each state. Apparently, some states have yet to get their act together. This has been going on for too long. Will the federal goverment, for the love of God, enact some legislation to prevent all these problems in the future! How many elections do we have to go through this crap before it's stopped?

People get out and vote for McCain. We have to save our country from the Obama socialist/marxist government. I am terrified for our country if we don't defeat the liberal agenda. It is trying to create conflict much the way the anarchists of the 60's did. This country is the greatest in the world-please defend it from liberal interlopers!

Hey I just heard from a URS that obama is throwing in the towel and crashing to defeat. Seems his town of Chicago needs him to take care of the crime in his neighborhood. Seems his past drug use is finally catching up with him and discouraging voters.

I say if you can't control your hometown, how in tarnation are you going to control our nation.

Give it up Obama and return to clean up your town

Go Blue Virginia! Go Democrats!

Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08

Voter suppression anyone?

It's getting so close to the election and every 4 years like clockwork there are always problems... It would be so easy to make one universal voting system yet no one has done it – What is so difficult?

Hillary supporter, I am a 52 y/o cauc. female with 1 undergraduate college degree and two graduate degrees and a member of Phi Kappa Phi Honor society (not that I expect you to know that means I was in the top 5% acedemically at my university) and I am voting for Obama. Oh yes, I am from KS and had an uncle who was Rebublican Speaker of the KS House. You don't have to be educated, just intellegent to know America needs Obama. Palin is a complete joke.

Why don't CNN report what is happening in Georgia the state is sending letters to registered voters to prove they are U.S. citizens because of a so called computer glitch, but get this they knew about this months ago and people are recieivng letters 10/09/08 and giving them one week to comply or they will not be allowed to vote. Another GOP voter suppression??????? More than 50,000 letters went out.........McCain and crooks will do anything to win this election if WE allow them. DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

no issues, never any plan on the republican side....only slander....that's gonna get us far.

Hey Obama show,

Take a Valium. It's all the usual Republican smears while their candidate is the knight in shining armor. Give it a rest. No one gets to this height without something in the background that looks questionable. Your guy is not any different.

How about some details other than your foaming at the mouth. Here's a detail I got......McCain wants to discredit ballots sent in by overseas members of the military. Hey, there's a guy who supports the troops!

This seems like an honest glitch caused by our federalist construction.
No one wants to discount military votes, but what happens when common sense flies in the face of the law? Virginia needs to address this BEFORE November 4th and get the issue settled. Deciding how to handle it after the other votes have been counted is not a good idea.

Someone mentioned ACORN: TURN OFF the FOX"News". If Mickey Mouse really shows up to vote, the fraudulent registrations that ACORN flagged for the authorities would be an issue, but I don't see him showing up.

Hillary supporter now for McCain/Palin October 27th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

You are a complete idiot. Your precious Hillary lost and you still hold a grudge all this time later? Grow up!

It's absolutely disgusting and insulting to suggest that people are only voting for him because he's black or they are young and stupid. I'm 43 and white and was for him from day one.

The vote did not and is not going your way so you have to stoop to such vile (and completely unsupportable) ideas? If you only knew how stoooopid you sound...

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE THE MOST NAIVE PUPPETS I HAVE EVER SEEN.OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT A FLIP FLOPPING JERK. YOU SUPPORTERS ARE JUST HIS LITTLE PUPPETS. IF YOU THINK THIS GUY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD ,YOU BETTER GET OUT OF FANTASY LAND AND COME TO REALITY.ALL HIS DIRTY TACTICS ,MONEY AND BS. WONT CHANGE WASHINGTON AND THE GOVERNMENT. HRC TRIED FOR YRS. TO GET UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.CONGRESS IS THE MAIN PLAYING CARD.THEY HAVE LAST SAY. OBAMA WILL BE WASHINGTONS CLOWN IN THE WHITEHOUSE. RIGHT NOW HE IS THE MEDIA CLOWN.

Change? writes:

"blah-blah-blah-same-trumped-up-and-already-disproven-charges-blah blah blah

Now, how can any of you Obama suporters think that Obama is going to keep one promise he told you?"

See, Change? has spoken so who are you to doubt what was said?!?

Moron.

AMERICA NEEDS A LEADER THAT WILL UNITE US INSTEAD OF DIVIDING US WITH NEGATIVE CAMPAGNING AND LIES.

EARLY VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND A STRONG AMERICA!!

NOT THIS TIME! PARK YOUR TRICKS AT THE DOOR! WE ARE MOVING ON TO CHANGE!

Let the soldiers vote, for crying out loud!

October 27th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

I think only registered Republicans should be allowed to vote with an overseas ballot . The Democrats are all socialists and want to tax rich educated people like myself. I bet there arnt any Democrats smart enough to unclog a toilet.

Hey Joe:
"rich educated"...that's a joke right? "arnt" you the educated one! Spell it slowly with me A R E N ' T now, aren't you feeling better?
It's not that we can't unclog a toilet, it's just that we don't stoop low enough to unclog toilets for 35K a yr.

To all the idiots that calim this is an Obama scam, wake up!!!
The Repugs are the one's that stole the last two elections, not the Dems. I firmly beleive we need a UN babysitter to keep the Repugs in check.

Some of you Republicans have SERIOUS PROBLEMS! Why do you drink whatever flavor of Kool Aid McCain and Palin give you? You do so love your labels don't you. Does labeling others make you feel superior? Socialist, Marxist, Terrorist blah blah blah! You say the Democrats want the government to be their parents and take care of them. You also imply they are irresponsible children who if given the keys to the kingdom will go on a crazy spending spree like kids in a candy shop. That's talking out of both sides of your mouth. What I want to know is why do you think you are the morally superior, financially superior, religiously superior and in many cases RACIALLY superior. Why is that? Why do you think YOU are the chosen ones? Why do you think YOU should run the country? Look... you had your turn, give us a chance to fix the huge mess you've made of this country.

Obama/Biden 08!

Virginia has never had voting problems before we require a valid ID and the military votes have always been counted . Is Obama using his supporter Gov Pain to help him suppress the votes of the military??? Hmmm?

All ballots in VA will be counted! Tuff luck Arab Obama

You know what makes me laugh every election is how after 4 years after the last one here we are still having problems one way or another!!
Why does everything when it comes to something as simple as putting an...X...filling in a blank....mailing ballots in....absentee ballots...etc etc cause so many problems!!!!!
It is beyond me how someone can't come up with a REAL SIMPLE SOLUTION for people just to cast a vote for God's sake..... how difficult can it be???
Wouldn't we all like just one election year to go without a hitch and not have....votes not counted....voters being suppressed...made up names...voter fraud and the list goes on and on......how long have elections been around for heavens sake.
Someone somewhere must have a better, easier way of voting than this mess we have to go through every 4 years......it is really frustrating.
Having said all that.....I hope ALL the votes for Sen Obama are counted as we know what happened only 4 years ago with Bush...we need this election to be over and Sen Obama to become President.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

People of American, be very clear the Republicans will cheat any way that they can. A liar will cheat. Keep your eyes and ears open and report intimidation, stuffed ballot boxes, rigged machines. Remember 2000 and 2004?

HILLARY SUPPORTER, you must have more racist space between your ears than "Airhead Palin". While my vote for Obama was not because he is Black, what if it was. Is not my vote my choice? All my adult life I voted for the White man I considered to be the best candidate. Was it racist or a display of a lack of intelligence that I chose one of the White candidates?

What if we were a nation of Blacks in the majority and now Whites in the minority have what you consider to be a qualified candidate. Would it be racist in that case that you voted for that White candidate for the first time in the history of this nation. Lady you need to take a chill pill and get over it.

This is an unbelievable law can't the legislature hold a special session or something to overturn this. Every lgitamate vote should count reguardless of party affiliation.

republicans are trying to make a mockery of our election process again. they will fail, because they cant overcome the overwhelming turnout for the best president ever. president barack hussein obama.

Only you Senator McCain can PROTECT USA at this critical moment, but the problem is how can you awake american people?

Look like american people got drunken and behaves the same as those peope in north korea or those in China mainland 40 years ago.

How can american people regard OB as the god??? Crazy

I think the UN should step in and monitor our elections; we've had it done to other nations, why are we any different?

If we (the Americans )can't behave on our own accord and honestly conduct elections, then we need a babysitter for each election.

My husband is active duty army and currently in Iraq. Luckily we are NC residents. I will tell you that almost his entire unit, and just about everyone in Camp Bucca that he talk to, are voting Obama this year. Service members are weary, families are stressed to the point of breaking, equipment is failing, and Obama is seen by service members as a way to end this. This is my husbands third tour. McCain is in for a big unhappy surprise if he thinks he can depend on the military vote this time around.

I'm sure the votes are going to be counted–McCain/Palin appreciate it.

We need to bend over backwards to make sure the people fighting for our country have their votes heard. Simple as that.

I am glad John McCain made us aware of this.

This is sad for the voters. I think their votes should count, they're not the ones who made the mistakes in this situation.

more voter fraud from the GOP.

disgusting.
unamerican.

10xcsn
the thing is that the vote that matters, first and foremaost

Change? October 27th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Want to know the difference between Liberals (democrats), and Conservatives (Republicans)? Conservatives want to ruin the economy so that their sons and daughters have to take care of them, as well as everyone else. And they want to kill their children, as well as yours, in wars for no reason.

Democrats want to be grown ups and fix the defecit that the republicans have made a disaster of! They also want to responsibly end unneeded wars. And they don't want our children to have to take care of the mommy and daddy republicans that have ruined the nation!

SOCIALISTS! October 27th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

For all the idiots who are falling for this "socialism" crap..
Obama's plan is to redistribute the DEBT burden, not wealth. Money is not going to anyone, it goes to paying off the national debt created by Bush!
McCain's plan gives a REWARD to those who created this economic disaster!
WAKE UP!

The first smart this spoken on this blog!!!!!!!

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

I REALIZE NOTHING ANYONE SAYS IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MINDS ABOUT OBAMA BUT DOES IT BOTHER YOU AT ALL THAT THIS MAN HAS SO MANY SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET.

HOW CAN YOU TRUST OBAMA.

I GUEST THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS THINK ALL THIS INFORMATION IS FALSE.

WOW TALK ABOUT FANTASY LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is not fair. All of our military should have no problems voting at all. Virginia needs to fix this now.

I think only registered Republicans should be allowed to vote with an overseas ballot . The Democrats are all socialists and want to tax rich educated people like myself. I bet there arnt any Democrats smart enough to unclog a toilet.

Let the votes count. Despite what many think, active and ex-military individuals are favoring Obama by a wide margin this election year.

"And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement ...[did not] bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that," Obama said in a 2001 recorded interview. Redistributive change means take money from workers who pay taxes and give it to the folks who don't pay taxes. That's his plan. So, if you want a handout, vote for Obama. If you want a hand up, vote for McCain.
Simplistic? Yes. Accurate? Yes.
And if you're voting for the handout, don't hold your breath. Bill Clinton promised the same thing when he was a candidate. His handout promise morphed into a hand in your pocket. His tax cut promise turned into a hugh tax increase right after the election. In the current meltdown it is certain Obama's promise will also morph into something very different if he is elected. For heaven's sake voters, think before you vote.

To "Socialists" – doesn't MATTER whether it's redistributing wealth or debt, BOTH are money you idiot! It's still socialism, period. Barack Marx Obama will NOT win this election – WE THE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP FINALLY. Down with the druid lib-tards.

Who says the military is for McCain? Our military is young, often from low-income families, and from minority groups. My bet is that many are for Obama.

And the trickery begins. Remember folks, there is a large Naval Base there in Virginia with a lot of young people interested in coming home from this so called war on terror. I think those ballots might say Obama on them.

Naturally this would be a McCain side-bar.
He seems to think he's the heir apparent to the military vote!!

What he fails to realize is that despite some codgers left over from the cold war and Reaganites–and a few active duty Commanders fighting for every dollar they can get from D.o.D. to fund their programs-the rank and file officers and enlisted, and many senior leaders realize change is in the wind.
Even crusty old retirees–now struggling to maintain a standard of living while yearly earning becomes less and less despite their pensions–know our economic strategy for the nation over the past 20+ years has benefited the wealthy more than the average American.

The funniest part of all this is people calling it voter fraud for Obama's benefit. Did you not read the article? First, it's 60+ votes. Second, it's a law that should not be enforced because absentee voters were not put on notice of the witness requirement. That's called fundamental fairness...something you Republicans should look into. Perhaps if you learn about it by watching Obama the next 4 years, you might have a chance of convincing people to elect someone from your ranks in 8.

They fighting to keep my rights to vote. Let them and their families vote.

NOBAMA!!

This is just another ploy by the GOP to cry foul when Obama wins the Whitehouse.

JOHN McCAIN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL DO ANY AND
EVERYTHING TO CLAIM THE PRESIDENCY!

I hope that the feds are doing everything in their power to find out
who is BEHIND ALL OF THESE VOTER/BALOT PROBLEMS!

Voters should not be penalized by poor ballot design.

I think someone should contact each voter to get the required information. This clearly should not fall in the laps of those who voted and submitted all the requested information on the official ballot.

October 27th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

BO is bound to win with over 99% of blacks voting for him; many of whom have never voted.

Is this racism?

Why would anyone of any intelligence vote for someone who is inexperienced, and arrogant to boot.

The others voting for BO must be terribly young and easily swayed by a charismatic individual.

Take a good look in the mirror, Hillary supporter, because you are doing the exact thing you accuse Obama supporters of doing!

How could you be a Hillary supporter and vote for McCain/ Palin? Hillary and McCain/ Palin don't agree on ANYTHING. So, you are either very ignorant when it comes to political issues OR you are voting for a Republican because the Democratic nominee is black.

99% of the black population isn't voting for Obama, but in your own little narrow-minded, racist world, I guess they are.

Grow up!

Hillary supporter (I very much doubt that)

Blacks are voting (as so many white and whatever colour can be found in this land) for Obama. It's just natural: he inspires blacks as he does so many others. Look at the crowds behind Obama. There you can see every possible colour, not just blacks.

And if you think as you wrote, forgetting all the blacks that voted for Clinton, then you sure belong with the almost all white crowd at McCain/ Palin's rallies. I might (am not) calling that almost all white crowds voting for two white candidates racism...

Fix this problem. All votes need to be counted.

I would be hysterical if my vote did not count.

Note: Palin needs to apologize to Senator Obama for calling him someone who hangs out with Terriorists and a Socialist. She is causing him to be in personal danger. She stirred up the lunatics and they are starting to get dangerous. I am ashamed of her. I think her talk about who is American and who is not is disgusting. She may be the one who is truely Un-American.

I can't believe we are letting the Democrats steal this election!!! First, ACORN ... now suppression of military votes ... but I guess we are now so apathetic about how incompetent the government can be that we just let it happen.

Well, at least that incompetent government can run our health care ... our savings plans ... and now even our banks. Pretty soon, we won't need taxes ... the Federal Bank of America will just increase their surcharges!

Stop crying you stupid ditto heads. Mccain is a dumb bone head and deserves to loooose.

I am voting for McCain because Hillary Clinton was the ONLY candidate worth voting for and I am not afraid or ashamed to admit it.

I never, never liked O'BAMA. He's an arrogent windbag, who needs to spend a few more years actually doing something as a Senator before he tries to claim the #1 spot.

Oh perfect, McPain doesn't want our service men and women voting!

Hey hurriain palin
8 more years of the same is a dream for you. The rest of us are tired of living the past 8 year nightmare of bush/cheney. america has finally woken up and will elect obam for the next 8 years!!!!!

we will all be laughing hysterically when the landslide for the democrats start and buries what was left of the GOP.

I would think the soldiers would want to vote for Obama. The GOP is already starting the next branch of the war into Syria. Keep 'em at war. Keep 'em scared. George Orwell wrote a book about it.

Thank you John McCain and Sarah Palin for inciting the hate speak leading to violence with these wackadoodle nutcases!!

The McCain and Palin hate spewing, race-baiting, terrorist, treason, socialist and communist accusations against Senator Obama are paying off for them. The skinheads are taking aim and it's because of McCain and Palin's rallies.

Hillary Supporter for McCain/Palin;

The "experience" arguement is meaningless...

Experience = same mistakes they've always made and not aware of new trends, industry ideas or willingness to do anything different.

Inexperience = amatuer mistakes, aware of new trends, new industry ideas and willingness to do something different.

The difference between McCain/Obama to different generations is how one relates to the candidate. McCain doesn't have anything to offer generations <40 yrs old. He doesn't even use the internet (like Bush) – how can a country move forward if something so basic can't be done by its leader? Did I mention warmongerer?

If Obama is a socialist then Ronald Reagen and Dwight Eisenhower where bigger socialists.

Obama wants a 46%
Top marginal tax rate
50% under Reagan and the 91% under Eisenhower

Argue that one GOP

im for mccain/palin

4 out of 10 "Die Hard" Republicans in Virginia said that they were voting for Obama. Simply because they don't like Palin, McCain wanted to "destroy" everything in his last debate, Palin seems like she doesn't read the news paper much, and does not know what the role of the VP is, McCain's age is weighted factor, McCain IS AFRAID of Palin(Letting her say and do whatever she wants), there's is no team effort between the 2...AND...US needs to show the world that they can let go of the PAST, make a "Change".

$150,000 in clothing?? This isn't Cinderella 2 Folks.
Suppose McCain were past away in the whitehouse? Will America let someone who doesn't know a simply weekly "Weather Forcast" run the show? Where's the Brains?

This isn't 2nd Grade Teacher Interview, this is America!
Vote Correctly, it's not showtime, or making a fool of yourself on SNL...it's about America's Economy, Health, and Overall Standing within the World.

Srand Up for what is Right,
and Make The best and most Wise Decision that you can live with for the next 4 years.

Zeppo:

The FACTS are not biased, they just universally have not supported yoru candidate's behavior or positions in this election. Reporting FACTS is therefore not biased. On the other hand, reporting that IGNORES FACTS and FABRICATES "FACTS" (such as claiming Obama is a socialist) is the very definition of biased. Anyone who doesn't believe me shoudl take an evening to watch FOX...they are seriously off the wall. I'm not even sure they should be allowed to call it news without being charged with fraud.

Kate October 27th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

You can't be serious. A state would actually deny our men and women in service their right to vote because of faulty forms by the feds.

Enough already!

Unfortunately, it has happened before. (Florida 2000 is one example).

Reasonable people can find a way around this. Let's see if we can find any reasonable people.

Another Flordia? God help us!

They need to count the votes if these votes are truely from Militiary men and women they have every right to vote. They are risking their lives for this country so LET THEIR VOTES COUNT.

Well, guess it says something when the first thing I do after reading the article is to "google" to see if it is a Democrat or a Republican in charge of Virginia. I guess I have been a just a little disillusioned from 8 years of Republican rule. My first thought was "what dirty tricks are the Republicans trying to pull again". The good news is that at least the governor is a Democrat. The bad news it that I can't trust any Republican to do the right thing anymore. They have earned their reputation ever since Watergate and every election since including swift boat ads, 2004 Florida Scandal and other dirty politics that have become embedded with our country's voting history and that doesn't even take into account what George Bush Jr. and the Republicans did to our economy. I just cannot give a Republican the benefit of the doubt anymore. However, CNN reporting that I am not the only one who has lost their trust in the Republican party.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE. You would think we could have an election. We can send a man to the moon, but can't have a fair election. There will be disputes on the nov. 4, and we won't know the winner till Christmas. All the fradulent ballots sent in by ACORN, ALL THE OVERSEA'S BALLOTS, FROM SERVICE MEN, IF Obama doesn't win they will recount untill he does. Then we will have a socialist for president. Everyone who votes for Obama, deserves what they get.

Want to know the difference between Liberals (democrats), and Conservatives (Republicans)? Liberals want and or need the government to be their mommy and daddy and to take care of everything for them!
Conservatives want to be grown ups and be in charge of their own lives!

Hillary Supporter? I am not "teribbly young" (53 years young) nor "easily swayed," but YOU MUST be for voting for McShame just because Hillary wasn't nominated!

Obama-Biden in '08!

In my latest poll of polls. CNN will be defunct and off the air within 6 months due to lack of ratings and biased reporting.

The GOP need to own up to the fact that they blew this Election. Starting with McCain. McCain's Experience and Military Record looked good on paper against Obama's Resume. But what every one didn't factor in was the Generation X crowd. They could care less about Experience or the Military. They wanted a Voice, and Obama gave them that voice. Now they are speaking loud and clear to the Baby Boomers,"get your old prejudice butts out the way, this is a NEW DAY". As For the Blacks, they hadn't been under ONE common cause since Martin Luther King's march on Washington, some 40 years ago. This Election belongs to the DEM period.

In this case, I'm for enforcing the spirit of the law–the votes should count if there weren't instructions explaining the law on the ballots or applications. The state of our election process should trouble Democrats and Republicans alike–everyone's vote should count and no one should be trying to suppress votes or frighten people into not voting. I think we need some stricter Federal standards to guide and unify the voting process. Also, counting the ballots should not be led by someone in a partisan position. Don't get me started!

Obama / Biden '08

Question is was it raciest when the last 43 presidents were white and blacks voted or didn't vote for that candidate. Amazingly enough people are so sterotypical and think that just because we have a black/ mixed President bad things will come upon the USA. Not going to happen. Last time I looked most people feared blacks as they walk on the street next to them. Even tough they don't know them. Yes sterotypes play a big role in how we view good and bad. White is good Black is bad. Why is that people? Get it right the best man for the job is just Obama/Biden 08. Period.

for gods sake anything mccain and repubs want to cry about now.just get out of the way old man and moose barbie.i am sooo sick of both of you .YOUR LIEING CHEATING STEALING VOTES WONT WORK THIS TIME. OBAMA 08

@ robin: Generally speaking, the absence of evidence that something is true is evidence that it is not true. Ergo, the obvious absence of any FACTS and any accompanying reporting that Obama is a "Marxist," as you so quaintly and uneducatedly put it (hint: read about Marxism ebfore you talk abotu it), is, in fact, EVIDENCE that he is not a Marxist. Wrap your head around that one. You guys are insane if you think you can revive McCarthyism outside of your little circles of people who still use the word "commy."

Gee, whaddya know? More vote fraud issues in states where Obama has built up a lead!

Rokey Suleman has discovered the pain of a catch-22.

Sometimes nobody is to blame, but someone always gets the finger pointed at them. This must be corrected, and it shouldn't be an issue whether you favor Obama or McCain.

Did anyone notice that on "Meet the press" on Sunday morning after viewing the clip of Russ Limbaugh , with his racial comments in regards to Collin Powell's endorsment of Sen: Obama .

Sen: McCain was asked if Russ Limbaugh is right , up until now Sen: McCain has not answere the question .

I think he did not answere because he is completely in aggreement with Russ Limbaugh .

COUNT THE VOTES

ya maybe GOP needs people to vote.... If anyone votes for Obama GOP will change the votes to mccain

Obama lied to the people of Illinois (he never lowered taxes like he promised to get him elected)!
Obama lied about his relationships with: Ayers, Rezco, Rev. Wright......................
Obama has changed his stance (lied) on most major issues that won him the primary!
Obama knows he can't raise anyone's taxes Rich, or lower taxes on the Poor with our economy the way it is right now. But you think he is going to tell you the truth?
Heck no! He want's to get elected! Then he will come up with reasons why he couldn't keep his promises once he is in office (but only if asked), but most likely will
Just ignore you.
Obama never takes responsibility for any Gaffs or errors he makes on the campaign trail. He will either say to the people, "You Weren't Listening!", or blame his staff!
Obama voted present when in the Senate just to keep his hands clean, and not be responsible for any negative aftermath's of his votes. All carefully planned to win the white
House.
Now, how can any of you Obama suporters think that Obama is going to keep one promise he told you? You are nobody to him. Your just another step stone to the
Presidency for him

So this was a law put into place by Republicans back in 2002, but yet people still blame Democrats?

Ignorance is bliss!

To Bill, VA

How is it that a standing law is "Obama's people's" fault? Don't insult us military folks by casually throwing around blame.

BREAKING NEWS...

Republicans demand a recount, before the vote.

Ridiculous!!

We can not suppress votes, ...America needs to show the rest of the world that Democracy works!

Obama/Biden 'o8!

Just break the law, Thats what republicans typically do!

Show your IGNORANCE on nov. 4 and vote democrat.........

McCain/Palin '08

Leave it to the right to once again blame everything on Obama. Hello folks, this is VIRGINIA state law, one that everyone interviewed thinks needs to be fixed. How again is this the democrats trying to deny the military vote? Did Obama go back in time and write this Virginia state law? I guess if you are naive enough to listen to Palin and her anti-American BS you are the kind of person who would believe anything.

Sad. So sad.

all it boils down to is whose the one that lies (mccain/palin) and hwose the one that is truthfull, has said the same all the way through this all and is willing to work for americans???>>>>OBAMA/BIDEN,,, it really surprizes me that so many americans still want mccain,, are they stupid or do they make over 250 thousand and are afraid their taxes may go up??? well my friends(for mccain),,, the one you plan to vote for is a liar ,, worked for bush and got his way then and will do anything now to win your vote,,, schemes and lies included... buta majority of the americans want obama who will work for us,, the americans who have paid thier taxes and still are barely making it,,,,, obama/biden,, 08 and beyond!!!!!

As I democrat I believe these votes should be counted. I strongly support Barack Obama, but people in the military must have the right to vote. I don't have a problem checking for voter fraud, but according to Federal law, voter records cannot be purged 90 days before the election. I think our countries election system needs to be uniform in every state. Democracy and voting is not something we should take lightly.

The entire system of voting has been flawed since 2000!!! WAKE UP!!!

Give me a break right wingers! We have suffred 8 miserable years after your baboozling of the 2000 election. Don't cry to us about a stolen election.

boo hoo

*sigh*
So now the legal portion of this process begins.

Let's re-itterate one VITAL point here before we get all bent out of shape one way or another:

As of Saturday night, Fairfax County, Virginia has received 63 absentee ballot applications that are subject to the legal snag and 6 or 7 of those 63 appear to be from members of the U.S. military, according to Suleman.

So... We're talking, so far, about 63 votes, only 7 of which are military.

I'm fine with letting every military personel (which will likely break ~70-30 for McCain) get a vote irregardless, and squelching the vote of every non-military overseas ballot (which will likely break ~70-30 for Obama) who doesn't follow the law.

That should satisfy the McCain fans... and give them a few hundred votes advantage. The last poll showed Obama with a 10% advantage, which equals hundreds of thousands. We can afford to give a few hundred votes advantage to the McCain camp just to get them to shut up and stop whining.

What say everyone?

McCain,
You don't have to warn voters of the possibility of white house, the House and the Senate being under the Democratic control. Go back and sleep soundly tonight and wait for your defeat on Nov. 4. This is not the first time the country will be under the Democratic control and definitely, this won't be the last. You know why polls are indicating you are currently losing? We are much smarter than you and the third grader combined. And thus, you won't get our vote.

Obama/Biden 08 and beyond......

Well it's finally happened! I was wondering what took so long? Republicans have finally found another loop hole in the voting system to guarantee their win! Another Gore and Bush Election! I don't doubt for one minute that McCain's Camp designed this ballot intentionally! Don't be surprised to hear other States have also been affected!

If they get away with this you can expect more than gun totting twenty year old vigilantees ploting to Kill Obama they'll be plotting in much greater numbers! I hope John is proud of himself. This plot falls directly on his and Palin's shoulders. They knew or should have that their Vicious racist inciting speeches at their rallys would lead to this! I hope Americans can now see Who The Real John McCain is! Obama is Saint Christopher next to "the other one." Boy Winning must be real important for McCain!

I think it is important for everyone's vote to count. These stupid little oversights on both sides of aisle are keeping people from their rights as a citizen.

Hillary supporter now for McCain/Palin:

Yes your remarks are racist. DO SOME RESEARCH and you will find that of the ten states with the lowest African American population, five of those are currently being carried by Barack Obama.

I'm a WHITE voter in the state of Georgia....not young, not old, just a year and two months shy of 30. I know how to reseach, read the issues, read the debates, and make an informed decision and vote for Obama

Anyone who believes that voters are making their decisions solely based on RACE, SHOULD have their eligibility to vote, STRIPPED!!

HILLERY SUPPORTER,

YOU SCARE ME!

The facts of this story are far different than those reported this morning on Morning Joe. They alleged this morning that there were 250 such ballots. Boy they sure know how to stir up a crowd. They also reported the Rep. Tom Davis of the 11th district in Virginia slammed the guy for throwing out ballots yet registering legal voters that have been incarcerated. Mr. Davis and his partisan hacks can not have it both ways. Either you want the guy to follow the law or you don't. It has been these transparent attempts by the GOP over the last 8 years that has caused people to loss faith in what they say. Now they have no credibility. We can not longer believe anything they say, because 90 per cent of the time it is not in the best interest of the American people but rather in the short term interest of their party.

If Mr. Sluman did not follow the law, he would be in violation of the law, and who does that help? No one. If they come up with a reasonable plan, under the law, I am sure Mr. Suleman will be happy to accept that plan.

Dead people and muppets can't vote. They can register, but they can't vote. When a registration is filled out, those taking the registration have to know matter what name is on the registration. It is then discarded as being non-viable. Only those that have been verified can vote. Also, without a witness, anyone can fill out the absentee balot.

Let's see. I read the same story and I didn't see any of the crap that is being spewed here. Let them vote, count the votes and the chips fall where they may.

By the way, Proud vet and proud Democrat here.

Everyone should relax before they start blaming anyone for this matter.

I hope everything that can be done is in an effort to cout t he votes of soldiers serving overseas. I cannot imagine having to explain to them that their vote for Commander in Chief didn't count due to an error with the ballot.

Boy, here we go again. The RNC's "sincere" interest in counting ballots is limited only to those they feel are in their favor. See the stolen 2000 election. Once again they are engaging in every dirty trick they can to scrub new registrants and minority registrants off the list, while screaming bloody murder if that same rule is evenly applied.

I would hope that Virginia the mother of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and the US Constitution would not have vote issues with the military vote.

The men and women of military need their voices heard and in heard in the form of a ballot.

To withhold their vote due to some obscure regulation is outrageous. That is probably because some Obama Pacifist is grading the ballot. Give me a break.

To "Hillary supporter now for McCain/Palin:"

How ironic. I'd argue that arrogance is believing that anybody who has a different opinion than you is unintelligent.

Luckily, this era of arrogance, where anybody who dares to believe that the Ultra-Conservative establishment is wrong is "un-American," is about to end.

All of you claiming Democrats don't like the military are plain ingorant. I'm a War veteran and DO NOT appreciate the language being used by Americans towards Americans. Nonsense..... Come together as ONE.
Those who serve are ONE....why can't Americans stand as they do?

Actually, veterns support McCain by a wide margin but actively serving military personale and families support Obama by over 25 points. Why? Because McCain voted against the new GI Bill and help for military families who will receive tax cuts under Obama's plan.

Dead people and muppets may have registered, but they will certainly not vote. No voting fraud has taken place, only fools registering non existent people. I wish you people would stop repeating everything you are told by the television, and start thinking for yourselves.

And seriously?? Only people who are not intelligent would vote for Obama? I wish you were smarter than that.

so.. the military vote is for mccain,, so they get to continue killing and being killed.. its what they are born to do right... well, not on my dime. i want health insurance and benefits for those soldiers so that they can live happy , healthy lives for their families and children... who need them more than the neoconservatives and the haliburtons of the world do....

and yeah, they can vote.. why blame obama for a faulty system that was already in place before this election. why exactly is this so complicated...???

It sounds to me like this law was put in place without someone doing their homework on what federal ballots say or to purposely exclude some voters. I hope it was lack of homework and will be resolved before election day.

Hillary supporter now for McCain/Palin October 27th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

BO is bound to win with over 99% of blacks voting for him; many of whom have never voted.

Is this racism?

Why would anyone of any intelligence vote for someone who is inexperienced, and arrogant to boot.

The others voting for BO must be terribly young and easily swayed by a charismatic individual.

and you must be terribly old and easliy fooled by an old man that has NOTHING to offer but your dream for a woman ( not hillary it seems ) any woman to be v.p. Go figure old sticking with the old ...

This is a law enacted by Virginia who knows how long ago. This is a traditionally Repub state and the laws are written by Repubs. Quit blaming the dems for this. Let the military vote count. You'd all be surprised how many are turning blue. Many don't want to go on their 5th, 6th or even 7th tour to Iraq.

Hey FAKE HILLARY SUPPORTER,

Nice try.

The Republicans Will Do Anything To Block Your Vote Or Not Count It!

ran says:

"People vote for Obama/Biden to get our country back from the likes of Stevens/Palin/Bush/McCain and other republicans."

So you can hand your government over to Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Frank, Dodd, Mahoney, Rangel ....need I say more?

I love how everyone tries to lump McCain and Palin with Bush.

What is the linkage between Palin and Bush? Oh, yeah, she was a governor while he was in office. I guess we really need to get rid of the Obama/Bush policies.

October 27th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

That is a dumb think to say. I'm a black woman and I've been a voter since I turned 18. I'm 36 now

And I was a Hillary supporter when she decided to run. But she didn't win the nomination. So because I’m a Democrat my support is for Obama.

So this is why I haven't gotten my ballot with only 8 days until the election. Good job Virginia, thanks for taking away my constitutional rights.

as Bob Hope say's... Thanks for the Memories... But I don't think he would like them.... "Road to Ruin"... Away to go Obama, you have the USA in your Pocket; and they are still asleep..

It amazes me that in the 8 years since the hanging chad fiasco we haven't seemed to figure out how to make voting simple and fair so that every vote counts. I'm sick of the blame game going on too because people from both parties have been playing games with the system again this year.

We don't even know if Mr Suleman is GOP or a Dem. In any case, he's working diligently to get a higher ruling. He just wants to make sure he isn't breaking the law, which in many states can end up with a civil servant paying fines or in jail. I am confident on review by the state board of elections that that ballots will stand and no one will be happier than Mr Suleman.

The absentee ballots are not going to come into play unless is a close election. Hopefully people would be able to follow directions like the rest of us...otherwise their votes will be invalid....like the rest of the people that do not follow instructions. YOU WANT YOUR VOTE TO COUNT THEN DARN IT...READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DO NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE.

Where on here does it say anything about Dem's?

Where on here does it say anything about Dem's???

1. Dead people, muppets and Mickey Mouse can register, but unless someone with the same name and address actually shows up to vote, they don't "have the right to vote", and won't be able to.

2. Democrats want ALL valid votes counted, regardless of state rules v. Federal. Obviously these votes should be counted.

This Is Another Slick Way Of Not Counting Votes! First You Print Out Some Ballots, Omitt A Few Lines, And All Of A Sudden The Votes Dont Count!

Democracy not only depends upon an honest election. Also required is an unbiased media.

Reagan abolished the fairness in broadcasting laws to make way for Christion right radio. He must be turning over now!

“Why should we be penalizing the voter for something they know nothing about?,” Lindberg added.

I'm sure the McCain campaign agrees that no ballot, not just those from military voters, should be disqualified on technicalities when cast in good faith by voters who just "knew nothing about" a problem with their ballot.

If it "smells" it's ACORN, Obama trying to steal the Election in one way or another.

PALIN WILL FIND SOME WAY TO BLAME THIS ON THE OBAMA PEOPLE!!

Come on USA, can we please get the voting issues resolved? We have so many intelligent people working for the states and local bureacracies. Why can't simple things like early voting, absentee ballots, voter registration, etc... be solved in a professional and non-partisan manner? Maybe it's just me. I've been a voting Republican most of my life. I'll be voting for Obama this year. So I've been on both sides of the ideological divide – yet I expect nothing but the best from our state and local governments to get these bureacratic and administrative issues resolved and taken care of to everyone's satisfaction – regardless of the state or political affiliation of those involved. As Lou Dobbs says, "can't we have a government that works"?

Thousands of military votes never got counted in Florida because their postage dates were late... even if they made it on time... let's avoid these problems where possible... if anyone has earned a right to cast a vote it's the military members and their families...

Hope they get this figured out...

FIX the problem quickly ....

why was not this addressed before now ! The media could be investigating this and all voting problems, while there is time to change them ! No CNN you tell us how awful things are but it is YOUR JOB to inform and investigate . YOUR JOB because you use our air waves ! You did no investigations deep enough to expose the depth of Obama Marxist belief . You have been self absorbed and ridiculous ! DO YOUR JOB

After all of the election problems with the past elections, this is inexcusable. Virginia needs to "FIX IT!"

100% Chance that the GOP will raise questions and make charges in EVERY State that is Close or Lost by them.

They did it so they expect EVERYONE to cheat.

Not needed GOP, it will not be close even WITH your Cheating

Here we go again!!

More attempts by the lying, cheating democrats to try to steal the election.

That is disgusting. I hope you Virginians feel really good about your leaders in Virginia taking away the rights of our servicemen and women to vote.

I guess they can shed blood and die for us but they aren't good enough to vote, huh?

Today, I would be ashamed to be a citizen of Virginia.

how about a show of hands- counted by 6 people at a polling place, then ratified? Its got to be more accurate than what we have AND enviormentally friendly! Of course I'm kidding, but not by much!

Dems, let's count the military vote. Even if you hate the military, can't we at least agree that they have the right to vote?

I mean, if dead people and the muppets can vote, surely you can allow our fighting en and women to cast their ballot.

Here's one case that the Democrats will favor state's rights as opposed to federal oversight.

BO is bound to win with over 99% of blacks voting for him; many of whom have never voted.

Is this racism?

Why would anyone of any intelligence vote for someone who is inexperienced, and arrogant to boot.

The others voting for BO must be terribly young and easily swayed by a charismatic individual.

I'm sure McCain and the Republican party is outraged that such cases of voter fraud continue to plague our great democracy.

Why i svoting so freakin hard this isnt brain surgery for God sakes count the votes. Sometimes I wonder how we ever learned to walk upright!

This is Obama's people suppressing the military vote because they know we are 70-30 McCain. This cannot and will not stand.

Sooooo basically, McCain and the Reps are all for technically illegal ballots that might help him, but they are trying hard to enforce laws (think Ohio) that have been proven by scientific studies to result in unnecessary culling of valid registered voters. BIG SUPRISE.

Let 'em ALL vote I say. Let it ring.

Come watch America fall apart at the seams on Nov 4!

It seems we are incapable of figuring out how to vote.

I say put Steve Jobs on it!

Here is comes folks. We have got to vote in such #'s that the court will not have to get involved. We can not allow this election to go to a republican leaning court. Not this time.

People vote for Obama/Biden to get our country back from the likes of Stevens/Palin/Bush/McCain and other republicans.

I heard Gov Kain talk about this issue on MSNBC Meet the Joe this morning. They are seriously considering what to do in this case. I am sure they will reach a better conclusion on this issue. Every vote counts. The Republicans think that the issue favors them more than it does the Democrats. I am sure if they know that it's the other way around this time around. Most military personnel are voting for Obama this time.

I am glad to see that CNN has been encouraging people with voting issues to get in touch with them! There is a lot of 'shady' stuff going on!

CNN, posted the previous article in the "political ticker" should be on YOUR HOME PAGE............ planning to kill Sen. Obama is disturbing.

I PRAY EVERY DAY THAT THE HATE-SPEWED BY THE REPUBLICANS WILL BACKFIRE AND LOSE THEM AN ELECTION.

HATE BREEDS HATE. WE ......NEED.........HOPE!

and here we go....

OMG!! Beaurocracy tripping over itself, for god sake except the state made a boo boo on the ballots and fix the error on new ballots you can issue here after and lets get this election over with all ready!!

HRC said "EVERY VOTE MUST COUNT!"

You can't be serious. A state would actually deny our men and women in service their right to vote because of faulty forms by the feds.

Enough already!

What difference does it make? Elections are decided on the news before we vote.

All you have to do is watch MSOBC for five minutes and you become an obamabot.

Are we ever going to figure out how to proceed with an orderly, accurate election process? What a circus.

For all the idiots who are falling for this "socialism" crap..

Obama's plan is to redistribute the DEBT burden, not wealth. Money is not going to anyone, it goes to paying off the national debt created by Bush!

McCain's plan gives a REWARD to those who created this economic disaster!

WAKE UP!

Shame on them – they should let their votes count.

The Republicans have proven how vicious and untruthful they are. They will say and do anything to attract a vote. Just wait, I look for voting machines to malfunction or the "chads" will fall the right way. They will stop at nothing to get their way.
Hopefully, OBAMA WILL WIN THIS ELECTION, If not, McCain and the good ole boys pulled off another one.

MCCAIN / PALIN
