<\/a>Will the main stream media (MSM) continue to report on voting issues as they did in the long lead-up to the election? My guess is that they won’t. Oh, there will be some follow-up on local issues but the networks and the cable news channels will surely forget that there is an issue with regards to voting machines. I expect to see even Lou Dobbs stowing the “Democracy at Risk” graphic away. It now goes back to the thousands of citizens who work in obscurity to try to convince our election officials that electronic voting machines should not have any place in our elections. This year’s national election proved that fact though the national media immediately ignored the melt-down and blessed the election as having “wide-spread failures”. As expected the MSM was joined by the Election Assistance Commission, electionline.org, the vendors, and many election officials. \/ Sarasota County and other Florida CD-13 counties have begun two days of recounts and number crunching without really recounting the voters’ wishes….<\/p>\n
