The REAL culprits:

StopGeorge,..

Thank-You for taking such a active roll in keeping these burning issues on the front burner. Your like a one man Paul Revere - galloping your (our) message thru the streets of Boston,.. into the suburbs,.. and off into the ether-nets. A projectile fired off to halt American fascism - another shot heard around the world.

Is anyone still wondering if the 2004 election (Diebold is located in Ohio - wink, wink) was not "stolen" using these machines??? If so, you must be living under a rock!

Having seen the Democratic Party so pointedly failing to pick up this issue and run with it, how could the Republicans fail to turn it to their political advantage? ...in addition to the electoral advantage they have already been enjoying too long, that is. Will this make the DNC finally start yipping? We already know what the response is going to be. If this doesn't get Brad's phone so overtaxed as to lose its charge before he can finish a sentence, nothing will. And, I already can't stand how much blind hope and trust I'm placing in Bobby and Mike's qui tam suits. Pardon me while I go off and soak my head.

It's all too convenient; just in time for elections that are about to be swept by the democrats, everyone is about to realize that the result of every election is suspect.
We already know it doesn't matter who wins each election, but who Congress swears in. For at least the moment, democracy and justice are only illusions. No one ever guaranteed life would be fair.

Lots of press on this one guys, but let no one forget that it was VelvetRevolution that got this machine to the Princeton team. So once again, VR set things in motion that put this in the mainstream media.

Thank you StopGeorge for your post. I am posting about this as well. I have linked this Fox video from July for all the same reasons you state here. This is a report about Ion Sancho who blsted this issue open in florida. Good video.

You mention 10% electorate, please elaborate.

Hey there Stop George, I sent Brad a headsup about your story this morning, so I'm glad to see it here. (Belonged here first! teehee).

Thanks for taking that on and for posting it on Daily Kos as well, since some there don't want to consider this election fraud stuff - at their own peril!

These machines are a joke. We need to shower our county voting officials, supervisors, newspapers with one mantra,
"HAND COUNT ONLY"
"NO CONFIDENCE IN EVOTING".

Email, phone, picket. The time is now.

Well of course Crox 'News' would cover it. According to Mark Crispin Miller, who has it from a high ranking Repug official, should the Democrats gain enough seats to take control of the House (there's no way they'll get the Senate), the rightwingers are going to seize the issue of election fraud and claim that democrats are rigging the closest races, thus calling those races into question. Should be an interesting 'election'...

Right you are. If it weren't for Brad and the people at VR, I don't think we would have this particular diary today.

That's why we've got to push really hard to get this to be the number 1 issue in the American media. Everybody should be talking about it (and doing something about it) well before the election in November.

These machines (tested by Princeton), and ones that are similar, will be used by 10% of the electorate this November.

I forget where I heard this stat. I could have been here at BradBlog, actually.

DKos is getting better with the e-voting issue. I have had a couple of e-voting diaries achieve the rec list. I wish it were front-paged more, however.

---------------------------

And thank you so much Brad for giving me this honor of being a "guest-blogger". I hope this post will help spread these important videos and information across America so that this story can achieve critical-mass in the corporate media.

Cheers!

Isnt this a perfect set up to disenfranchise millions of voters? Widely publicize NOW that elections are being rigged?

of course if dems get voted back in, it will be all their fault.

Forget the 2004 election being stolen.

NOW hype up the voting machine issues that have been there all along.

Maryland had a super low primary turn out.

Also interesting: Slashdot right now...

JPENTZ;

That is why this has GOT to achieve critical-mass --- NOW! This should be a daily feature on CNN, etc.

Perhaps...

CRISIS IN AMERICA!

(cue dramatic music)

These machines CANNOT be used in this election.

#11 No way the dems. can take the senate? Guess what, they don't want the Senate. Whoever gets the most money from Big Corp. That's who controls our govt. Jean Hay Bright , running against Olympia Snowe, isn't getting a penny from any dems.Snowe's poll numbers have fallen from 72% in March...Maine Pulse Poll to 53%. I trust state polls more than national. Bright is pro labor..pro union..peace activist. Dems. won't support her, despite the fact that she has a good chance to win. Maine has fair elections.

What!!!!! FOX is reporting on this. Scandalous! I tell you.

Molly --- Seems like the way the national Democratic organization distributes funds would tell somebody something. It's been this way for a long time - keep everything in the corporate family. The Dems are really two different parties, or at least one severely schizophrenic party.

Of course, I like to see MSM/Fox coverage of the voting machine issue, but I'm uneasy about this. Besides Mark Crispin Miller's remarks about Republican plans, you know Fox isn't doing this as a public service or as a matter of conscientious news coverage. (They say the Republicans are "our guys", remember.) So, why are they doing it? Got to ask ourselves that.

Nevertheless, any kind of sword put out there can cut two ways. It may not be controllable.

All due respect Brad but your insinuation that only evil conservatives would use this technique to steal elections is absurd. The Democratic party has far more felons and has been caught registering dead people and crack heads much more often than the Republicans (who, by the way, are significantly Left of where JFK was in the 60's). Vote stealing IS a problem but the Left has made it an art. The Right is just beginning to catch up. Payback is a bitch, huh, Brad.

JFK was to the right of fascism? Wow, is there a name for that?

Those Democrats you’re talking about were republicans in sheep’s cloths kind of, like Lieberman was. Sorry, but your republicans are the felons and crack heads. The dead people who voted before they died had a right to vote because they were still alive when they cast their vote. I think it’s honorable and very telling when in their dieing hour; they cared enough about our country to vote against this criminal empire. They didn’t care about their own death they only cared about America, and what your people were doing to it. Now that is a TRUE American, don’t you think.
