DEVELOPING STORY -- Intimidation tactics, missing ballots and faulty machinery are plaguing some voters across the country as they go to polling stations to elect either John McCain or Barack Obama to be the next president of the United States.

Has there ever been an election, anywhere on the planet, where all machines worked perfectly, all supplies were up to the mark, zero problems, 100% perfect?

The media is just trying harder to report any such occurrances.

Wish they'd tried as hard to report what Obama wanted to do to the coal industry, or report that he wanted to tax Jim to give his money to Clyde.

As for voting without problems to degree possible.

1. Prove you are who you claim.
2. Mark an 'X' for the person you want to represent you.
3. No computers, just mark the sheet.
4. I'm happy, my county left computer voting, went back to scantron. Step in the right direction. While not as good as a voter marked tally, quite acceptable.
