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

As expected there are a number of articles concerning the Diebold Security Vulnerability. Bucks County Pennsylvania will be the only county in the state to use their lever machines in next week’s primary elections. One commissioner said, “In the long run, we decided to have a good election. I’d rather have a good election, and we’ll fight over the $950,000 after he we have a good election. I think that is the right thing to do.” And there are still reports coming in regarding failures in Indiana, West Virginia, and Arkansas….

      There is so much destabilization in the US election "system", since defective equipment has forced upon the public, no one can keep track of it anymore.
