Five Missouri counties (all ES&S customers) have announced they will return to paper ballots or drag out their lever machines because ES&S cannot have them ready for the primary. They have now joined a majority of Arkansas counties who are also going to be in violation of federal law because they agreed to contract with ES&S. Cuyahoga County Ohio is still counting ballots as of this morning. …

      Dredd to the 5 Missouri counties who wish to return to sanity, and to the majority of Arkansas counties who also call bu$hit on this bu$hit John Gideon has called the train wreck:

      We got your back, your philosophy, and your Americanism!

      Fuck these lame used car salesmen who got some ho at the Watergate Jack Abramoff bed!

      I agree … you serve the American public that wants to express its opinion via its vote.

      Not only YES, but HELL YES!!!

      And these three HO (a.ka. a whore) companies that want to destabilize the American voting public, by forcing criminal technology upon us, I express your vote by saying NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!

      Diebold and ES&S take note. We want your junk machines to be taken down to the land fill and be placed there along with the failed policy of invasion, failed policy of demockcrazy at the end of a gun, failed policy of bad oil baron fuckology that makes us pay your bills, and failed republican dictatorship. Then we want them to fade into Rush L’s ass.

      Just leave and we will not hang you from the American monuments you have pissed on. Just leave or Otherwise, we are going to give you to your torture brigade. Gonna let Rummy have you.

      10 more American soldiers died today, because of e-vote fraud. Yes, I’m directly linking DIEBOLD, ES&S, et al…to the Iraq War. If Bush didn’t steal the elections, our soldiers wouldn’t be dying in Iraq. GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!

      I hadn’t been by The Free Press lately so I thought I’d check out their take on the Ohio Primary. I found this article about ballot stuffing for Bush in the 2004 election including a link there to photos of the ballots in question. Lots of ballots with votes for Bush only – no other votes cast.
