Share article:

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

The big news today is still the ESI report on Cuyahoga Co. Ohio. Diebold claims the only flaws are in ESIs report. Democrats are asking for a complete investigation. Even the Republican candidate for SoS is asking for a complete inventory of Blackwell’s office. / A press conference was held in Arizona yesterday with Congressmen Holt and Grijalva discussing future legislation on voting rights and vote administration / There may be a recount in the Nevada Republican 2nd Congressional District primary. It will be interesting to see how this turns out especially because the winning candidate is the SoS so the recount would be against him. …

      Here’s an idea,..

      Why don’t we let the big gambling houses of Vegas and Atlantic City administer our elections and vote counting for us ? We could call it “The Russian Roulette Contest for the Next American President.”
      Winner takes all,.. the executive,.. the legislative,..the judicial,.. and the national treasury and he gets to share the spoils with his crony friends.
