Just what have these states been doing the past years, thinking this wasn't a problem!????

It took someone violating Diebold and Sequoia in public, and there needs to be more demonstrations now, to ensure these machines do NOT get used in the states!!!!

The code was banned. Places knew this for years, yet they got in anyway...I smell lobbyists all over this network.

We're going to have to mobilize to fight, big time against Van Spakovsky and his goons.....they are going to make this difficult along with their hack-controlled lobbyists.

The FEC has nothing to do with voting technology and procedures anymore. That is all now taken care of by the EAC.

Von Spakovsky and the FEC have oversight for campaign spending, etc. That means MoveOn, PFAW, CommonCause, etc. are going to have to be careful.

For everyone. I wanted to point out to you that because of BradBlog, VelvetRevolution, OpEdNews, VoteTrustUSA, VotersUnite and thousands of organizations and voting activists we sent 5,895 emails to the EAC just today; and 715 individual letters. Today we more than doubled our totals from the first four days of this action alert. The totals are now 9,465 emails and 1175 letters. Thank you everyone. Great job.

John I wish that were the case but I wouldn't be so sure.

The FEC has alot of back-doors we don't know about, this is a revolving door enterprise. They go after anyone who seems to cut their way, and now record companies like the rapper "Puff" Daddy. Yet we never hear a thing from them about how the FEC's supposed mandate of HAVA by law is going to be met. Not a "simple" mistake, mind you. I advise everyone to be alert of anything re: FEC and the vendors.....

How trustworthy, verifiable, etc, are lever machines for voting? Is there a paper ballot record? How would you know if someone fucked with the gears, rather than changing computer code?

good bye mister sharon

Have a look at what's going on in Middletown, CT where there was a malfunctioning lever machine. It took them 4 years but they finally did catch it, and now they've changed their testing procedures so nothing will slip through again.

Fortunately they were all willing to look at the lever machines and test them, when evidence of a problem surfaced. Wish they would be so responsive when there are indications of trouble with other kinds of election equipment.
