Solano Co California Supervisor Barbara Kondylis has requested that the rest of the Board of Supervisors discuss the fact that in last November’s election in the county 1,321 more votes were counted on their ES&S voting machines than voters who voted. The Chair and immediate past-vice Chair, who set the board’s meeting agenda, have refused to allow the Supervisor’s concerns to be heard. She has now sent an open letter to the citizens of the county in hopes they will pressure the Chairman to put this issue on the board’s next meeting agenda.
According to reports from Colorado, the state legislature has “A bill to be introduced today would offer greater latitude in recertifying machines deemed subpar.” So, the machines are deemed to be “subpar” when being certified by present standards. In an upside-down world, it only makes sense to lower the standards to accept those “subpar” systems. Simply unbelievable.

Well, I admire the thought. but if the corporate media isn’t involved with raising awareness here NOBODY will put pressure on anyone.
UNLESS of course every voter in that precinct was actually mailed this information in a timely manner. If not, the rest assured nothing will change.
Same old dogshit, step in it and weep.
We need email addresses for all the good or decent shows that talk about election fraud …to get Brad Friedman on. I felt like crying when Amy Goodman had the writer for the Time magazine ..saying…”Scientists haven’t proven election machines have been hacked.” N.H. was an important election and I don’t think the corporatists actually pulled it off. Also since N.H. had evidence that there machines are hackable, should they have such an important position in the primaries? I don’t think they are worthy of it. Saw a high school student on cspan last night ..”Maybe the primary states with the most voter turn out should be first?”
