   *Claps loudly*

   John Bradley, Doug, Lisa and everyone pat yourselves on the back!!!!!!

   We helped make this happen, moving the army forward. Finally the pennsylvania legislature will look at VOTE PAD and introduce a formal delay to HAVA.

   We need to triple our forces, there has got to be a TRO filed in every state!!!! Obviously, the neocons don’t get the message…. WE DON’T WANT ANY OF THEIR MACHINES!!!!!

   So lets make them get the message, what say you? By the way John Gideon, I am all over my Governor in Utah and getting him to consider the verified vote-pad/optical scanner solution.

   Note for Bev Harris: Yet another "Neocon" group of interest has cropped up…..

   This time its not the Pacific Research, or even the Election Tech Institute…

   Its the AEI itself…

   AEI forms new claimed "election reform" experts coalition

   "Today, two of America’s key policy research institutions–the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI) and the Brookings Institution–launch the new AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project. The program is a joint effort to monitor the implementation of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and to develop a bipartisan policy agenda for further improvements in the administration of elections.

   Introduced in the wake of the contested 2000 presidential election, HAVA was passed by Congress in 2002. The law provides funds to the states to enable them to replace punch card voting systems. It has also created an Election Assistance Commission to help administer federal election laws and has set standards for the administration of federal elections by states and local governments.

   The new AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project will encourage constructive changes in HAVA and its implementation. It will also synthesize election-related research and strengthen the link between the research and policy communities. The effort began today with the initiation of a new website, http://www.electionreformproject.org. The site will be regularly updated and will include information on voter registration, technology, access, early and absentee voting, provisional balloting, election administration, and voting integrity issues.

   Said AEI president Christopher DeMuth:"The best way to preserve democratic institutions and good government is to ensure that elections are executed freely and fairly. As the United States spreads democracy throughout the world, we must do all we can to protect the democratic system at home. I look forward to another successful partnership with the Brookings Institution as we move forward with this important research." "

   Someone get their magnifying glasses out yet again…..this is the *fourth* group to come about in the last two weeks…

   Hamas won the election in the mid-east.

   Aren’t elections grand?

   The neoCons are wrong to think that something as precious as American Constitutional Democracy can be cheaply made.

   Even terrorists can run elections without fraud, but they can’t do American Constitutional Democracy simply by putting marks on a piece of paper then putting it into a square box.

   What neoCon fool thought up the idea that spreading voting machines throughout the mideast would in and of itself bring "peace and freedom"?

   If Hamas can have a legal election as a terrorist group and win, why couldn’t Bush/Cheney?

   Al

   If you would stop acting this way and insulting people they would take you seriously. There’s no neocons who work for the Bradblog okay, and you are being paranoid.

   Please stop posting this and acting up all the time.
