Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Mahoning Co. Ohio sits on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. Like most of that area of the country they are struggling with funds to keep their infrastructure operating. In fact the county is discussing laying off employees. They have ES&S iVotronic DRE voting machines that use batteries that need to be replaced after 5 years. They have had the machines for 5 years so they went to ES&S for new rechargeable batteries and the chargers. ES&S wants $197,500 for the equipment. The county then found a company in California that would provide them with the batteries and chargers for only $50,877. ES&S and their ilk are raping this country in their efforts to squeeze every possible dollar out of the taxpayers….

    Mahoning County Ohio …

    They trusted the criminal evoting companies and now they are out of work.

    Rape victims or willing participants?

    Look what the election industry has done to America … then declare “war” on them!

    Watch California. Debra and crew are going to clean house.

    2 things about Mahoning County-1) the purchase of the voting machines was all about payola for local Democrats and Republicans way before the fiasco of 2000. Not about stealing the elections-which they do here in the Valley like clock-work, but stealing MONEY! 2) Read SWAP by Sam Moffie and you will undersatnd Mahoning County.
