Mycroft you are stuck in your own little world. Regardless of what is said, cited or justified with 'logic', you ignore it and remain in your ignorant bliss.

Why don't you summarize a few points you think you've made and let's see what they are. Because so far you haven't made your case, and you haven't refuted with any substance anything I've said. You seem to lose it whenever the discussion covers anything in depth or contains anything moderately complex.

I'll start with one. There's no way you hold values current with the Democratic Party. Why bother calling yourself a Democrat when you clearly aren't one? Do you think we are fooled or are you merely fooling yourself?

My point is precisely that I don't see this “logic” you believe you have wielded. The topic is how risky electronic voting is and you keep bringing up supposed examples of non-electronic voting fraud. Further, you continue to conflate disagreement with ignorance, which is either incredibly arrogant or dishonest.

Funny, I'd say the same about you…

…except so far I haven't seen you discuss anything particularly complex or cover anything in depth. Unless you don't understand the difference between volume and depth, which is quite possible, and would explain the redundant links and links that are only tangentially on topic.

I'm registered Democrat and I voted Democrat yesterday. What more does it take? Suppose you point out the differences you've found in anything I've said and the values of the Democratic party? That would at least give you practice in finding evidence to support your assertions.

As a skeptic I am against woo-wooism and unfounded conspiracy theories. I think you champion at least two conspiracy theories commonly propagated by some of the less-than-skeptical elements, which are black-box-voting and supposed corporate subversion of our national media. I'm sure given time I could think of some others, but that's a great start for now.
