The drumbeat of the pro-democracy movement in America (who could have ever imagined there’d be a need for one in this country?!) seems to be growing louder as more and more Mainstream Media folks get into the game!<\/p>\n
Following on the heels of yesterday’s Miami Herald<\/i> piece<\/a> about Miami-Dade’s possible return to paper ballots, Herald<\/i> columnist, Robert Steinback jumps in with a damning condemnation of Electronic Voting today<\/a> pointing out that, “Nothing is more important, for the world’s pre-eminent democracy, than assuring the sanctity of each vote.”<\/p>\n Steinbeck goes on to say:<\/p>\n Indeed. Clearly there are still a few in the MSM who get it. It may just take them a while to figure it out.<\/p>\n Moreover, Steinbeck — for the first time that we know of — mentions the Clint Curtis \/ Tom Feeney vote-rigging scandal<\/a> in the pages of The Herald<\/i>, along with a litany of reasons for returning to paper ballots [emphasis added]:<\/p>\n We may never find out what Walden O’Dell, CEO of touch-screen voting machine manufacturer Diebold Inc., meant when he told Republicans in a 2003 fund-raising letter that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president [Bush] next year.”<\/p>\n We may never learn the truth behind the affidavit of computer programmer Clinton Curtis alleging then-Florida Rep. Tom Feeney — now a U.S. congressman — asked the software company for which he worked in 2000 to design an undetectable computer program for flipping touch-screen machine votes.<\/b><\/p>\n We may never know for sure if Nov. 2 exit polls that projected John Kerry winning several states he ultimately lost were themselves biased — or whether they were accurate, exposing tampered election results. The victors, after all, never question the score — or the scoring.<\/p><\/div>\n And tomorrow, The BRAD BLOG<\/a> has learned, syndicated Tribune Columnist, Robert Koehler will also go on record about the pitfalls of E-Voting, a condemnation of what went wrong in 2004, and some terrific coverage about those of us who are out there trying to fight the good fight to save our endangered democracy…even while the rest of the MSM continues to yawn.<\/p>\n Perhaps things are changing, however. We’ll see. But at The BRAD BLOG<\/a>, hope always springs eternal.
