Is anyone working on VOTE security in Missouri?
It's past time to be fearful that privatized, non-oversighted, voting methods will disenfranchise the public vote.

2. St. Louis County will be selecting new voting machines
as of December 5.

The vendors who submitted proposals were: Accupoll, Diebold, ES &S, Populex and Sequoia.

So, here in St. Louis County...I'm not sure if Robin backing us is enough anymore.

8. Robin Carnahan is our Sec of State.
Daughter of Mel and of Jean. Strong Dem-good for our party.

But we need to speak out more. The machines are seeping into even the smaller counties(like my county,Johnson). We need to speak out and warn.

7. latest news in St. Louis County
Torn between a past of hanging chads and computer glitches, St. Louis voters will learn as early as Friday what their vote-casting future will be.
...
The county's Election Board is expected to chose the winner of an almost $11 million contract to provide a new system to the state's largest bloc of registered voters.
...
Officials say Diebold and ES&S are the most likely candidates to win county job.
