      Eventually, we are going to have to do the shit that "Big Oil" is pulling in Venezuela, Boycott by not putting a candidate in, to make the machines and elections look like the sham that they are, (only here its for real), and speak about it real loud

      If any Independent,(Green, etc.) pulled out of the election at the right time, (slow news day), and stated the elections are a sham, (throw a little Diebold stuff in for good measure), it would get some attention

      Their are a lot of people I know who don’t have the "internets", or the time to look, that are almost coming to the conclusion that the elections are fixed, a little "real" (cough) news like this would help tip them over to the cause

      HTML gen is not working ?

      Gov. Bush picks major Republican donor to oversee state elections.

      TALLAHASSEE · Gov. Jeb Bush turned to an old family friend and contributor Wednesday to succeed former Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood as Florida secretary of state.

      Sue Cobb, 68, a Coral Gables lawyer who served as U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica the past four years, will take over as the state’s top elections official in January, Bush said.

      Cobb earlier worked with Bush as a member of his first transition team, helping set up the new administration following the 1998 election. She stayed on several months as interim director of the Florida Lottery.

      Cobb and her husband, Chuck Cobb, also are major Republican donors with ties to the Bush family that stretch back almost 20 years.

      This must STOP!!!!! Bev, John G, anyone in voting integrity…..Ohio has to be saved from this ridiculous corruption.

      Can Blackwell be sued in court over his illegal certification, considering there is proof he took favor using CompuWare, a third party vendor that was not authorized? Can it be proven CompuWare is not stable and thus Blackwell violated the extremes of his own state law?
