On this coming weekend’s Ring of Fire<\/i><\/a> on Air America Radio, attorney\/co-host Mike Papantonio can’t stop laughing as he reads our headline from last week: “Georgia Supreme Court Rules Unauditable, Unverifiable Elections Are Just Fine”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though they give me the credit, it was Rady Ananda’s story here last week which expertly covered Diebold’s wholly unverifiable touch-screen voting machines receiving the thumbs up for use across the entire state of Georgia, where they’ve been using them since 2002. That, even though there is no way<\/i> to determine that any<\/i> vote ever<\/i> cast on any<\/i> of them has ever<\/i> been recorded accurately as per any<\/i> voter’s intent.<\/p>\n

Once Pap stops laughing at our headline, he and David Bender discuss the article noting its even more terrifying “subtext”, our previous<\/i> coverage of the horrifying ES&S takeover over of Diebold’s election division<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Bad as Diebold was, it’s now gonna be ES&S, their largest competitor … ES&S may be the single<\/i> voting machine company — this one Goliath that will be unaccountable, unauditable to anybody<\/i> — and that’s really where we’re headed,” Bender accurately warns. He advises folks to call Congress at 202-224-3121<\/b> in support of Sen. Chuck Schumer’s demand for a DoJ antitrust investigation on this matter. We’ll also point you to BlackBoxVoting.org<\/a> who instructs how you<\/i> can send your own antitrust complaint to the DoJ.<\/p>\n

Finally, after Pap details ES&S’ legendarily monumental “screw-ups”<\/i> over the years (his firm was one of those who took on the state of Florida and ES&S after their voting machines simply lost<\/i> 18,000 votes cast in the 2006 FL-13 U.S. House race, decided for the Republican candidate by just 369 votes), they go on to say some extraordinarily<\/i> kind things about our work here at The BRAD BLOG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My thanks to both Pap and David along with the swell Ring Of Fire<\/i> producers for tipping us off with the exclusive heads-up in advance of this weekend’s show — both for their coverage of this issue, and for those exceptionally kind accolades.<\/p>\n
