Kucinich presents the possibility of lawsuits against voting machine companies.



In an interview about the machines he indicated that a lawsuit may be the only way to solve this problem, rather than having to wait for Congress to act.


From BradBlog: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=4936

Last night Congressman Dennis Kucinich was one of two guests on the Election Integrity radio program, "Voice of the Voters", which airs weekly at 8PM Eastern on WNJC Radio 1360AM and streams live.

The subject was voting machines, the vendors and the voters and Kucinich raised the possibility that the recent studies done on such systems in California might be the basis of a lawsuit to throw out "that technology." He said felt that legal action, in this instance, may be a faster route than waiting on Congress to act.

He also discussed his concerns about the use of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) voting machines in general, and expressed his feeling that they do not allow for confidence by the electorate. "There is a question of validity of an election. People have to know their vote counts and is counted," he told host Mary Ann Gould, "People cannot be guaranteed that with the present DRE system."

ONE MORE REASON TO GO ALL OUT FOR DK (AS LONG AS POSSIBLE).

2. K & R...
at the very least. I'm beginning to think the election will be decided long before I get to vote.
