While organizations like People For The American Way, Common Cause, and Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition argue that the continued use of DRE voting machines is necessary to support the foreign language speaking minority, they ignore that those machines may, in fact, serve to disenfranchise more voters from that community than they help. A new study from VotersUnite.Org proves that the undervote rate in minority communities in New Mexico plummeted when those communities changed from DRE to optical scan voting systems.
According to BradBlog; “California’s new Secretary of State, Debra Bowen, has flatly rejected a request from Riverside County, CA County Supervisor Jeff Stone to participate in a “hack test” challenge originally proposed to Election Integrity Advocates in response to their concerns about security and accuracy for the county’s electronic touch-screen voting machines.” …

Those poor, poor voting minorities, handicapped people and fetuses. WE MUST UNITE TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE ON DRE’S!
Hey Larry, any more voting laws bother you? Should we all just cherry-pick which laws we want or don’t want upheld? Is that the way it is? Next trip to a ROV I’m going to demand that they not allow people with foreign sounding names to register. That way we’ll get those pesky illegals out of the rolls. You know some names sound like they don’t agree with my religion. Let’s stop them from voting. I mean it’s only a law and there’s not very many of them.
See, you don’t need to protect their right to vote. It’s already been done by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and HAVA. THAT’S what you need to unite to fix. THAT’S why certain states (NY) and a bunch of counties around the country are being leaned on by the US DOJ and various state AG’s. They are in violation of the law. You know, like breaking into voting machines. It’s against the law. Blaming minorities for the problem is the lazy way out.
Howdy:
What the hell are you talking about?
