‘Daily Voting News’ For February 15, 2006

Today has been another busy day. There has been a lot of fallout from the court decision in Pennsylvania and that has caused a lot of counties to question what they can or cannot do as far as buying new machines. Some are just ignoring everything and they plan on continuing to sign contracts. There is also talk of an appeal to the courts ruling by the state. In Alaska the state is delaying releasing any election records to the state Democrat party. In New Mexico a paper ballot bill has passed the House and is near to going for a signature and to becoming state law. And Utah has turned their back on ‘Early Voting’. And late breaking from Maryland is news that the Governor has joined Reps and Dems in the state legislature who are all asking for a voter verified paper ballot….

      John The war is on now…Utah, Arizona especially and Pennsylvania….a historical lawsuit is being introduced which has come about as of Lynn Lande and Paul Lehto’s work. They have released the resolutions on it.

      It will get pretty big.

      I have been following Diebold’s stock and its hovering and teetering downward no thanks to the bad MSM who have not covered this important issue for democracy.

      If it wasn’t for bradblog and other online whistleblowers our cause would be laughed at and told to get over it, bush won. They were wrong, we were right.

      I hope we can eek out a win for democracy come Nov.it would be the cherry on top of this effort. Thanks Brad and citizen patriots all across the nation for opening up their eyes to the thieves of democracy.

      We’ll make sure those machines are permanently buried, and thrown underground with their parts regardless of the outcomes on november or onward.

      That you can guarantee, we’re going all the way with this.

      The simple solution is to bury the republican party in November.

      They fostered the climate of corruption and injected fraudy voting machines.

      They must be held to account for being the sole power in Washington, and the congress must be returned to the people by voting the republicans out of office.

      Disinfect America … vote republicans out in November.
