‘Daily Voting News’ For February 12, 2006

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

Election officials in Cambria and Somerset Counties in Pennsylvania “know” they will have touch-screen voting machines (DREs) in place for this May’s primary election even though no contracts have yet been signed. They stupidly think they can take custody of completely new technology, train election workers and the voters and have a trouble free election all with a few weeks preparation. This is pure incompetence. Also Illinois violates their own state laws to help out Sequoia and Sequoia gets an attempted assist in New Mexico….

      That does it John…

      Pennsylvania counties struggling with iVotronic

      Its time for constitutional lawsuits in multiple states, especially in Pennsylvania. It appears that the constitutional argument Paul Lehto made, needs to be addressed once and for all, in these states.

      May it be addressed nation wide…..Trade secret, proprietary software according to the constitution should not at all count the votes. That’s the law. Sequoia is hiding something and so is the iVotronic machines and Mrs. Hererra…or they would obey the law.

      Democrats are even trying to obstruct and bring the voting machines in. Don’t let them. Now is the time to take this to the top, and nail down the constitutional argument of trade secret software.

      Drive Diebold out, and drive Sequoia to change its system

      You said "Trade secret, proprietary software according to the constitution should not at all count the votes. That’s the law."

      Where does the constitution mention anything about voting machines or software?

      Hope this isn’t like Gonzales saying President Washington did electronic spying on Americans.

      Remember, as Colbert said, this is a state secret

      Look up all of Paul Lehto’s lawsuit which is still being fought right now.

      The constitution does not say, anywhere in the entire document, that voting can or should be done in secret.

      That is what trade-secret proprietary software does…it takes the entire thing out of the constitution, putting it in a secret locked room with no witnesses counting the votes.

      Key word is "Unconstitutional" Where the argument ultimately matters.

      What pisses me off is that when you talk to elections officials, the first thing out of their mouth is "We didn’t buy diebold, so you see our system is great." When are those morons going to see that just because Diebold gets the most name recognition doesn’t mean all the other electronic non truly auditable machines are crap too, just as fraudable! We need to outlaw the crap.
      Now Diebold is selling it’s machines, so they’ll still get sold under a new name and again election officials will say…no no this isn’t Diebold. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired! Let’s fire the liars!

      Yes theres a large connection between the Noes, Talbott who paid for the Judges defending Blackwell’s case and the tampering.

      Interesting one of Noe & company’s biggest felonies is records tampering….I’m sure that means votes too..
