‘Daily Voting News’ For June 1, 2006

Share article:

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

In defending his choice of hiring voting machine vendor talking-head Glenn Newkirk to review the Arkansas elections problems of the past few weeks, SoS Charlie Daniels actually referred to Dr. David Dill as a “conspiracy theorist”. What a maroon! One Univ. of Calif. professor speaks out in favor of “Idol Voting”; i.e. phone or Internet and a panel of judges to interview each candidate. The much awaited Robert F. Kennedy Jr. article from Rolling Stone is out. Also we have press releases regarding a new lawsuit in Colorado and a call for improvements in voting in Pennsylvania….

      THIS TRANSCENDS EVERYTHING

      …..

      except maybe, for voting fraud. but if comes awful close.

      and why wasnt this effectively addressed by democrats in 2004? ah, they didnt want to get "criticized" by the big baddie republicans, who can always outspin them (see above link, and JUST HOW CRITICAL this is).

      what about the media??

      """The unusual discrepancy between exit poll data and the actual vote count in the 2004 election challenges that reliability …However…the mainstream media…simply parroted the partisan declarations of “sour grapes” and “let’s move on” instead of providing any meaningful analysis of a highly controversial election."

      more on the election issue and the facts

      RE the comment "In defending his choice of hiring voting machine vendor talking-head Glenn Newkirk to review the Arkansas elections problems of the past few weeks, SoS Charlie Daniels actually referred to Dr. David Dill as a ‘conspiracy theorist’" …

      Do these guys like Daniels have to go to a school for training in professional dumb down? I mean to be that brain dead, it would seem, one needs some kind of hyper-dunce training.

      Normal folk just are not that dumb naturally …

      #6 No I don’t use AOL. I get a banner for YTV when I log onto Bradblog and have to refresh numerous times to get rid of it. The same when I go to comments or try to go back to the home page.
      Guess I will try restore and see what happens.
      I have been getting weird email. (I don’t open them) with number signs and exclamation marks in the subject line. This has happened since stupidly going to that "blackboxwatch" site.

      All will look better in the morning
