This artist obviously spent more time studying anatomy than he did fire arms. A double barrel percussion pistol and an empty cartridge belt?

Well, it says he ran out of ammo.

Belt fed?I used to tease an older buddy with a new girl friend about having a Pez dispenser. Then the bum croaked dragging a dead buck out of a swamp and I can't tease him any more.

Be very careful when you vote. I voted early Thurs, watched the checkmark come up on the ballot for each spot. One flipped my button push to another candidate and I corrected it. Then on the review section, Pres. box came up, NOT my choice. Also showed I missed a choice. I corrected and verified my printout matched MY choices. I suggest you take a Qtip with you to vote AND a cheat sheet (most can't remember all the choices - long ballot this year). It's YOUR vote, make sure it counts the way YOU want.

Popper, thanks for the verification that the concern of electronic voting machines changing choices is reality.

My county still uses paper and pen ballots, and my wife and I vote the traditional way -- at the polls on election day.

They use the machines here also, but it also spits out a paper ballot when your finished. I always check it for accuracy, have never noticed any errors in the printed paper ballot.

I guess I'm not old enough to have ever been told to sit on the corner,
...that was in the one house school room days? correct?
But, I've been sent to the Principal's office a few times.

I wonder how hard it would be to program a back door into the computer controlled voting machines. A back door that automatically deletes itself a day or two after the election.

Nah, nobody would be so crooked as to do something like that.

 

[Glaciers]

Of course not. Who would be so underhanded.

Easy. Every voter gets and signs for a set of colored ping pong balls. Each colored ball represents a person or a yes/no. Drop your balls in the box, left over balls are immediately shredded. At end of the day the balls in the box are counted. Everything surrounding the balls from the time they are dropped to final tally is videoed and recorded. No computers, no chads, just balls. Loose your balls, you don't get to play.

Got a reply from county voter commission. Recommend using Q-tip and checking results. Dallas county had trouble with the touchscreen/'button' alignment before, I'm not claiming any 'corruption' of the machines, just a tech problem.

This is one of the reasons WA went back to paper ballots where you have to ink a square. Our county auditor, head election official, said that voters with oily, dirty and greasy hands messed with the buttons. He reported one machined was use by a person with something on their hand that ate the plastic on the buttons.

Didn't know where else to put this.

We now have 28 Constitutional Carry states. Y'all can web search further info so that I don't get into trouble touching on politics.
