House of Representatives: "Voting Machines Are Not Working."

Blast this everywhere, forward by email, you know the routine!

1.21.08

I don't watch C-SPAN very much but the other night word got out that Congressman Wexler was going to present his arguments for opening impeachment hearings on the House floor.

At first I was taken back at what was going on there. If you haven't seen this before, you must check it out sometime. When I tuned in, it was some sort of session where House members had an opportunity to speak for 5 minutes on anything they wanted. And believe me, the spoke about ANYTHING they wanted. One Congresswoman just spoke with praise about a preacher in her home town who had tripled the size of their church's congregation in just a few years. Another talked about a brutal murder that took place and tried to tie it to why we need to be scared of Muslim terrorists, even though there is no connection.

Then a message flashed on the screen informing us, "The electronic voting machines are not working. Members are signing in manually."

As an advocate of election reform and opponent of electronic voting machines, I thought I'd capture the screen and share it. Kind of makes you wonder... If the people in Congress experience problems with their voting machines, they must know the same types of problems can occur when we vote on election day. So why don't they do something about it?

Here are the screenshots:
