69 of 93 Nebraska counties have no paper ballots even though early voting began last Monday. ES&S is doing the printing and is late. The Omaha World-Herald admits ES&S is partially owned by the newspaper. ES&S is reporting a “glitch” in the software of their iVotronic DREs. A ‘write-in’ vote comes out a ‘jumble’ of letters. The article says that ES&S is contacting all of their jurisdictions. A few phone calls found that none of the iVotronic jurisdictions called knew anything about this problem. Meanwhile a Chicago Alderman has lashed out at Sequoia and his idea that “at least 15 Venezuelans, who may not have been in the country legally, worked side-by-side with Chicago election officials on primary night March 21, which turned out to be a vote-counting nightmare.”…

John, "69 of 93 Nebraska counties" is another way of saying seventy four percent (74%), which is outrageous.
The world of election officialdom has produced, by compliance, complacency, and incompetence, the most inept high-tech industry I know of.
Little to no standards, so out of date as to be dinosaurs, and officials who are in over their heads.
I hesitate to believe all this could be true, however, when one Diebold machine is tested and shown to be easily hackable, in effect, it has been done for all the counties that use it.
This means that hundreds of counties are not complaining for some reason. Do they not know or are they cowering and covering up?
Perhaps the KGB (Karl Rove’s Good Buddies) are making visits to election precints and county officials and "educating" them?
Two KGB agents showed up at a school and roughed up a teacher who was helping kids with safety. They KGB’d the man (link here).
Spread the word, your school or election precint could be next.
Dredd,
Thanks for the link to that OUTRAGEOUS story! I guess this is what our protectors at Homeland Security are doing when they’re NOT sending porn to 14-year-olds.

This morning on the local Sacramento, Ca. news, within the banner they run at the bottom of the screen, was the following: "Attorney General and Secretary of State investigating voter registration fraud in Orange and Riverside counties"
There was no actual report within the news, nor anything in the newspaper.
Do you know anything? I’ll watch for your next daily report in anticipation.

Is it safe to say we no longer live in a representative democracy?
Our representatives are all controlled by the corporations. And the voting system is all but dysfunctional. Everything is in limbo.

Good question.
Arguments could be made both ways. But all of them would seem to be based upon the accuracy of our elections which would in turn be based on electronic voting machine technology.
Wow, that seems to raise the spectre of loss of democracy by negligence … assuming it was not done on purpose.
Bottom line. Our democracy needs to be fixed before we force it upon the world at the end of a conventional weapon or WMD.
Hey Guys, here is a documentary called the The Century of Self
It’s about Siggie Freud’s nephew and how he helped get consumerism started in the US, of course by Psy ops
Its a four parter at 1hr each, so it will take a while to watch, each part is about a different period in time, starting from the nineteen teens
Dredd #2, are you sure it wasn’t the KKK
(Karls Klux Klan) ?
I mean, do you think the guy was black ?
It seems we have a pattern here of this kind of intimidation going on quite freqently now days (read McKinney)

I will take this up with you when we are cell neighbors in the internment camps.
Do not forget your Brad Blog handles when we all get there. It will be our recognition then.
Shit, I wish I was of Mexican origin because I could do the Brer Rabbit scene to the guards … "please Brer Wolf … don’t throw me into the Brier Patch (a.k.a. send me "back" to Mexico) … I would be hurt by the briers (common folk) … and suffer tremendously" … (heh heh heh) …
(Yeah, really can’t stand those beautiful beaches, warm breezes, reasonable prices, and wonderful Mexican people … who still have humility and love).
Anyway FlorIdiot, could be KKK or could be KGB. Not enough difference for me to wonder about things that are the same but different in ways that do not matter enough …
… really … I am famous????
Yeah Dredd, Brad mentioned you in the third hour when he was talking to Da Funk man
