If you missed our coverage of the concerns about the positions on Election Reform by People for the American Way (PFAW), including their advocacy of dangerous touch-screen DRE voting systems which originally ran here a couple of days ago, you’ve got another chance. AlterNet is now running the article from their front page today under the title “An Opposing View on the Progressive Voting Machines Debate.”
As with the original, it includes the links to the audio and transcripts of both PFAW Executive Director Ralph Neas’s and my appearances on Ring of Fire with RFK Jr. and Mike Papantonio, so you can decide what’s going on here for yourself.
And if it wasn’t 100% clear in the article originally, PFAW does not have the same position as some of the other groups (like Common Cause, VoteTrustUSA, MoveOn, etc.), who are generally opposed to DRE use, but have been afraid (for political reasons, legitimately or not) to support a ban.
PFAW, to the contrary, is actually advocating the use of DREs in their position and arguments to back it up.
I’m happy to run a response from Ralph or PFAW if they’d like to contact me in order to clarify anything they feel I’ve misrepresented. That was not my purpose. Similarly, my purpose was not to attack them, but to discuss openly what I see as a very troubling position that I spent much time trying to figure out — and work out — privately, before Ralph’s public interview on RoF made it necessary for me to respond in kind to help clarify what seems to be going on here…

Ghouls of the Thor Hearne ACVR scandal have arisen, and it isn’t even halloween yet.
We now have a link to the new US Attorney in Arkansas, who was Rove’s point man on “voter fraud” (anti-minority dems), and Rove and the ACVR conspiracy.
Check this out:

Before last year’s election, I posted this:
It turns out that Bradblog was on the right trail when this was happening behind the scenes:

Ney is now in prison where Gonzales and Rove should go … after all Scooter will be there too. Rove ran the largest criminal election fraud organization in American history … directly from the White House!
Move this here too,..
KKKarl Rove addresses the subject about how “voter fraud” issues must be combated/punished/and prosecuted to restore election integrity,.. (while all the while he and his fascist minions purge as many legal Democratic voters with a criminal catalog of methods to illegally deny their ability to vote – so that only Republicans can win elections and these jack-boot, brown-shirts can hijack control of our government.
snip:
“Last April, while the Justice Department and the White House were planning the firings (of US Attorneys), Rove gave a speech in Washington to the Republican National Lawyers Association,” McClatchy reports. “He ticked off 11 states that he said could be pivotal in 2008. Bush has appointed new U.S. attorneys in nine of them since 2005: Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Michigan, Nevada and New Mexico. U.S. attorneys in the latter four were among those fired.”
Rove later thanked the audience for “all that you are doing in those hot spots around the country to ensure that the integrity of the ballot is protected” and added, “A lot in American politics is up for grabs.”
