Lucas County will be in the first wave of counties in Ohio to employ new touch-screen voting machines in compliance with the federal Help America Vote Act, state and local elections officials said after a meeting here yesterday.

Lucas County has entered into an agreement with Diebold Election Systems of North Canton, Ohio, to supply electronic touch-screen and optical scan voting machines to the county on an iterim basis, and to provide the county with a full contingent of the company's touch-screen machines on a permanent basis, once federal money is allocated to pay for those machines.

Duers we must get active. Here is a suggested plan for action in this county. We can deluge the Board of Elections with objections to these blackbox voting machines. Everyone send an e-mail to the below addy with your own short, honest objections or links as to why they should reconsider these machines. You need not be a resident of the county or even Ohio. You can be a "concerned and knowledgable citizen". Then cc your e-mail to the Toledo Blade reporter also addy below. The Toledo Blade has done some honest reporting in the past few weeks on these machines. We can help them out.
