Automatic Voting in Nevada

Having trouble deciding who to vote for?
Maybe you should move to Clark County Nevada.
Joyce Ferrara said that when she tried to vote for Sharron Angle, Sen. Harry Reid’s name was already checked. Her husband and several other voters experienced the same problem.

Voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle -- nearly all of that on Democrats. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU's top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year.

Unions increasingly have a major financial stake in election outcomes, both as a matter of their own election expenditures, and as a function of what they stand to gain if their legislative agenda is enacted. Should they really be responsible for tabulating the votes? That's certainly something voters ought to think long and hard about.
