Does Connecticut use Diebold?

Phoenix44 said:Why didn't I think of that...

michaeledward said:I think, then, that this is too important an election for Senator Lieberman to lose. Has anyone seen Karl Rove's forehead? Is he sweating? The locals are predicting a 10 to 12 point loss for the incombent.
It will be interesting to watch this evening.
Monadnock said:Sometimes too much traffic will bring a site down, such as DOS attacks, but I doubt that was the case. But I certainly don't go to a candidate's website the night of a poll, I watch the news, so who knows. I'm sure the far left-wing loonies and bloggers would rather have took to the streets in celebration but then dirty tactics are a trademark.
mrhnau said:I personally think its in the Democrats best interest for Lieberman to win. He has announced he will run as an Independant if he loses, and he should be able to pull a significant part of the Democratic vote. The state just might go Republican if that happens... So, if he does lose tonight, the Dems are going to try -very- hard to get him not to run as an Independant I think...
FearlessFreep said:But, isn't that the way our Constitution Republic is supposed to work?
Show my a two party system with primaries as a way of selecting the two candidates, as part of the constitution?
United States Constitution - Article I - Section 4 said:Section 4. The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.
FearlessFreep said:The choice should now be Lamont against Orchulli.
Tell that to Perot's supporters
FearlessFreep said:Ferrucci and Mertens will also be on the ballot, but as the Green and Independent Party Candidates, they will be marginal on the ballot.
*shrug*, then if you are right , so will be Lieberman
FearlessFreep said:I'm sorry, did I miss the part where Ross Perot came in second place at the National Nominating Convention for either the Republican or Democratic Parties?
Nope, you missed the part where the supporters of a third candidate decided it should not come down to just two candidates
As I have stated earlier ... I believe that Senator Leiberman will bow out by November 7th.
There is precedent in Connecticut for a Democrat to lose the primary and yet win as an Independent
Why would he bow out?
