  1. Ward One: 1,338 – Fourth Ward: 695 = OH OH!!

    Ward Five: 1,518 – Sixth Ward: 631 = DOUBLE OH OH!!!

      • 1st Ward: 1716, 4th Ward 821. That’s over 2 to 1 ratio with 4th Ward lagging behind farther than previous report. Oh oh.

        5th Ward 1855, 6th Ward 849. Again we see a Republican ward out-voting a Democrat ward greater than 2 to 1, with the Republican ward pulling even farther ahead early.

        Truth is, in this squirrely political environment, who can tell what it all means?
        Too bad there’s no one out there doing early exit polling.

        • Why doesn’t the Courier ever run polls anymore?

          Lord knows they don’t spend any money on investigative reporting.

        • Serious question.

          You’re on the inside, so you may know the answer to this.

          How much of this early voting is because of chaning voter behavior (i.e., vote centers, etc.), and how much is due to the work of Louise and her team?

          • Considering your 2006 connection to one of the questions you ask, I suggest you ask the question directly to the person.

            As to your other question, I don’t have solid, inside information as to the effects of changing libraries-and-election-office-only early voting to voting centers also included. I doubt anyone has a firm grip on that either.

            My prediction is that the weather between right now and 6:00 p.m. Tuesday will have a huge effect on voter turnout with regard to certain demographics.

          • Sorry Veracity, I don’t have any connections.

            I’m just a lowly outsider who happens to hear a lot of chatter.

  2. The evil, infamous Machine that rules Evansville today, but was unknown for seven years and nine months of the Whiney-Zapple administration, is alive and well in the fevered, paranoid minds of Tricky Ricky’s minions.

    It’s time to face facts: Ever since King Barry was elected Messiah and President, Republicans and Democrats have been voting for Republicans in record numbers to keep the United States from becoming a totalitarian regime in which our mulatto dictator goose-steps all over the Bill of Rights, and destroys our democratic republic with executive orders. This election is nothing more than phase two of saving this country from despotism.

  3. This is no big deal . . . I don’t even live in a Ward, so I had to vote for a Beaver . . . since June has passed . . . Clever or Cleaver, you decide . . .

  4. Kick the machine to the curb in this election. Don’t wait for the state democratic party to slap them down for you.

  5. I am done with all you negative people.

    PICK RICK DAVIS FOR AN OPEN AND HONEST GOVERNMENT!!!

  6. Can someone explain the chain of custody on the recording devices in these machines? How are they secured on a daily basis? Who watches this process, and who is legally responsible for their security?
