‘Daily Voting News’ For July 24, 2006

Share article:

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

One result of the exorbitant cost of purchasing and maintaining DRE voting machines is that counties must now find ways to save money. Texas will have a pilot project in Lubbock Co. that will allow voters to vote in any of 35 super precincts within the county in November. This is already being done in states across the nation and it may open up a new set of, as yet unforeseen, problems. / “Most computer scientists have long viewed Diebold as the poster child for all that is wrong with touch screen voting machines. But we never imagined that Diebold would be as irresponsible and incompetent as they have turned out to be.” From “The Diebold Bombshell”…

      I wonder why no one talks about the sales scams that are set up between the IFES (Link) and the SOS’s of two states (that I know about).
      One case is Nebraska, where the deal went down virtually unchallenged and the hack boxes went into full use, the other was Minnesota where it was challenged and the hack boxes were voted down. soon after, the SOS of Minnesota went in to full Ohio-like disenfranchising mode, right out of the IRI-Blackwell playbook
      Oh yes my friends, there is a pattern http://citypages.com/databank/2...ticle12601.asp

      I nominate a theme song for American elections:

      Thinking of a series of dreams
      Where the time and the tempo fly
      And there’s no exit in any direction
      ‘Cept the one that you can’t see with your eyes
      Wasn’t making any great connection
      Wasn’t falling for any intricate scheme
      Nothing that would pass inspection
      Just thinking of a series of dreams

      (Series Of Dreams, Bob Dylan).
