He&#8217;s agreed to appear on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.BradBlog.com\">The BRAD SHOW<\/a> tomorrow (LIVE Saturday, 7p-11p ET or 4p-8p PT, with reBRADCast on Sunday at Noon ET). We&#8217;ll have tons of stuff from the conference, loads of guests, including, but not limited to David Cobb, Clint Curtis, Robert Koehler, Ellen Theisen, and many more Election Reform All-Stars! We won&#8217;t have phone lines, however, so you&#8217;ll need to play along here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.BradBlog.com\">The BRAD BLOG<\/a> in our Open Thread during the show.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, and speaking of Election Reform All-Stars, Debra LaGuercio of the <i>Daily Republic<\/i> &#8212; who <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/archives\/00001859.htm\">picked up last week<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/archives\/00001838.htm\">our initial DIEB-THROAT story<\/a> &#8212; follows up with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyrepublic.com\/articles\/2005\/09\/30\/opinion_columnists\/opinloguercio.txt\">more on it this week!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great column, that deserves to be read in its entirety, headlined, &#8220;Sadly, Dieb-Throat doesn&#8217;t disappoint&#8221;. It starts this way&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"media\">When I wrote last week&#8217;s Dieb-Throat column about a whistleblower revealing security risks in Diebold touch-screen voting machines, I was deliberately setting myself up for a sucker punch. Go ahead, clean my clock. Make me see stars.<\/p>\n<p>I awaited a deluge of feedback, ridiculing me for believing anything posted on a blog (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.BradBlog.com\">www.bradblog.com<\/a>), along with mountains of evidence showing that Diebold&#8217;s machines are perfectly reliable and completely tamper-free, and that our election results were never and could never be secretly altered.<\/div>\n<p>LaGuercio <i>did<\/i> receive &#8220;a deluge of feedback,&#8221; but it wasn&#8217;t what she had expected. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyrepublic.com\/articles\/2005\/09\/30\/opinion_columnists\/opinloguercio.txt\">Read the entire thing<\/a> to find out how it came out. Wish I had more time to cover it today! But suffice to say, a new Election Reform All-Star is born in the media and her article ends simply &#8220;America &#8211; 1776-2004.
