Diebold strikes again
Edited on Thu Oct-30-03 09:23 AM by bearfan454
There was a news story about Diebold on KVUE tv in Austin Tx a few nights ago. I missed it. I work midnights.

1. US needs monitored elections
With the fraud that is so clearly taking place in this country when it comes to the election process, maybe we need to have the UN come in and monitor our elections to ensure that there is no intimidation, prematurely closed polls, fraud, etc.
What a sad state of affairs for the US to be in!

2. You aren't kidding.
Everyone knows they are cheating and Bev Harris is doing super work, but they are still controlling the electronic voting machines. Microsoft Access along with wireless transmission means a second term for gwb. It sucks. 8 years of this asshole and the corporations will own everything.

3. New Smirk and Jimmy Carter
Yes, it will be four more years based on the new smirkier smirk on our residents face.

Someone ought to get through to Jimmy Carter - he has travelled all over the world to lend his name to the monitoring of elections in other countries. We need help here. Europe, Canada, can you help?

4. Actually this is good news !
When someone reported that unknown candidates were getting big numbers in Diebold counties, some saw Diebold tampering, but actually it looks to be nothing more than voter error - they marked the wrong oval. I am much less worried about voter error than unverifiable machines.
