Can teleprompters count votes?


Posted: Sep 3, 2012

The ayes did not have it and Boehner was reading from a script.  The states impacted by all of this should remove Romney from their ballots.

I agree. Is that even possible, I wonder? - Has anything like this ever happened?

I'm truly appalled by this.

Since teleprompters are computerized, I would think that script can be added at the touch of a keyboard... Someone could be typing and someone else reading almost simultaneously.

I wouldn't be too quick to condemn anyone until I knew more about the technology.

I checked the youtube video... - sm

as I was so alarmed by the issue of the prescripted announcement. If you watch the video, you will see that the text following the vote says something like: if aye, go to option 1, if nay, go to option 2. I should say, though, that this does not spare Romney, his campaign lawyer, or the republican party for the corrupt and underhanded practices associated with the sweeping changes made to the convention rules at their direction.

Good!

I Hope Trump Gets Enough Electoral VotesOct 24, 2016
I see no purpose to the electoral college if we the people vote. It nearly cancels out the largest majority for whatever candidate wins. They have to have enough electoral votes.

I say we need to do away with that and super packs and all else that causes one to buy an election. I think we should go back to paper ballots too. I am sick to death o ...
