‘Daily Voting News’ For March 13, 2006

Share article:

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

Two important reports surfaced today. First, from VoteTrustUSA, is a study on reliability of voting machines and the reliability of those machines that were batch tested by the Calif. SoS. Second is the coming forward of another whistleblower, this time from Hart InterCivic. Also, another failure in last weeks Texas primaries was announced. In a hand count audit of ballots in Jefferson Co. they found a large discrepancy in the number of votes counted vs. the number of votes cast. ES&S will pay for a recount to be accomplished….

      The other thread that shows the Tarrant County problem could have been avoided … if whistleblowers were respected.

      This regime is so into propaganda (link here) that it infects the approach election officals everywhere seem to take.

      Make up some propaganda and try to counter the news leaks from whistleblowers instead of fixing the bad electronic voting machines.

      I think fixing the machines would take far less energy, time, and money than a pack of lies does.

      Yeah Dredd, the way they pull off the "Bait and Switch"
      constantly, reminds me of my school days
      I think I spent more time finding excuses to get out of the classwork than it took to actually do the work
      sounds just like the same thing, doesn’t it ?
      As an underachiever, maybe I should have became a neo-con-artist… Nah, I have morals
