Slog - Comments on Either Way, it's the Machine http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/either_way_its_the_machine As for Gary's late reporting, Kos nails it: The question is whether this was legit. The way the vote is being released makes this stink to high hell. If this was legit, that's some serious machine action at work. If it's not legit, that's some serious machine action at work. I doubt very much that the vote was not legit, but Machines get out the vote one way or the other....

It's unprecedented! Shenanigans! I call shenanigans!

Interesting situation.

It's amusing how the Hils side can't admit when they lost.

Maybe the polls really did close an hour later there.
