The Diabolical Diebold


The Brad Blog is
running this report (since last week) that Diebold is up to its witchery again by quite possibly tampering with votes in the hotly contested congressional seat in CA. formerly paid for by disgraced Repug Duke Cunningham. Its a story I haven't seen any where else and yes, he is making a compelling argument that Busby may have won or at least we'll never really know because Diebold reps took voting machines HOME WITH THEM. Anyway read the report. I can't believe that no major news outlets are even looking at this? This is hardly a partisan issue - its a voting issue!!! I'm not going to link to a zillion places here but if this is true we can add CA to the long list of states that have lost the votes of their citizens due to these machines: FL, GA, IN, NC, OH, and CO. Call your representative and demand a paper ballot initiative. The elections are very soon! You do have the right to one vote you know - at least for now...

The reason they won't come out against it, I fear is that they see ithow has worked for repubs and it may work for them. The bottom line is public officials do not hold sacred the right for each person to have one vote. Its pathetic that a super power can't hold an honest election.

i would love to know if it is easier to rig an election than the old tactic of just having your future rival taken out... Before, it was who's gonna fly the plane or what minority can we pin it on, now they gotta deal with all these machines and pay offs... i dunno. Call me an old fuddy duddy republican, but i gotta think killing people makes for better business.

You boys make me want to dust off my John Birch pamplets! Well the poll worker thing is genius because its largely volunteer and to be frank those nice old ladies care about the vote but aren't always the sharpest pencil in the box. Why aren't more young people volunteering at the polls? Maybe they are - its just never been my experience. You know when you look at the lay of the land - Amrican Tabloid by James Elroy jsut seems to be more fact all the time!!!
