Blogged by Brad on the Road…<\/i><\/p>\n
Still on the road and unable to cover anything as usual. So I’ll leave it to you guys to comment on the notable details. Had an interesting day\/night yesterday at the California Democratic Council Annual Convention, and hope to share some thoughts and perhaps pics with you as time allows in the not-too-distant future. But until then…<\/p>\n
Both Washington Post<\/i> today, and AP yesterday, cover the Ion Sancho story is a fair bit of detail with some interesting responses, as well, from both Diebold and Sequoia (ES&S seems to have refused comment for either story).<\/p>\n
WaPo’s<\/i> story<\/a> in today’s A section (page A7) — headlined “Election Whistle-Blower Stymied by Vendors: After Official’s Criticism About Security, Three Firms Reject Bid for Voting Machines” — focuses on all three companies certified to do business in Florida all now refusing to do business with Sancho.<\/p>\n That story reads nearly identically, to BRAD BLOG’s March 8 story on same<\/a>. Hey, better two-and-a-half-weeks late than never, we suppose. And no, not a nod nor hat tip to BRAD BLOG’s<\/a> coverage. And as our friend Larisa Alexandrovna from RAW STORY<\/a> points out in her dead-on piece<\/a> over at HuffPo yesterday, the Mainstream Media is far too good too recognize any lowly “bloggers” in their reporting.<\/p>\n
