Damn, I just found out I have to vote on a Diebold machine. |
|
and this is in Lorain County, Ohio, a very democratic county. If Bush winds up doing better in this county than in 2000, people better raise hell.

I am worried about who made the voting machines and the fact there is no paper trail.

8. Just heard from my uncle |
|
Apparently, they are still using punch-card machines, thank god. I still wonder why they changed my voting place though. It used to be at the fire station but they moved it to a church hall.
