Kos: Black Box Activists....Help 'em out

(this may be a duplicate, but it's important. Obviously we gave to the DU drive, but if we have $10 left over, this looks good. Get rid of electronic voting!)

Black Box activists -- now's your time to put up

Down in Florida, an epic battle is brewing over the electronic Diebold voting machines that ate 18,000 votes for Democrat Christine Jennings in FL-13 and cost her the election.

Not only is an expensive recount in the cards, but campaign and DCCC lawyers are flocking down, demanding the state freeze the machines for inspection.

These are the opening salvos in what will be the battle to end Diebold.

But only 36 people have given via our Blue Majority Act Blue page for the legal battles ahead.

To put it bluntly, to anyone who has ever complained about Diebold, this is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. No more talk needed. No more advocacy needed. This is a real-world, legal frontal assault on those electronic voting machines.

If we win this battle, you'll be able to kiss Diebold goodbye.

Update: No one will confirm, but word is that the DCCC and the Jennings campaign are considering suing for a brand new election.

Update II: Machines in FL-13 were made by ES&S. Same difference.

1. The only way I will donate to the 'recount fund"

Is if they are suing for a whole new election. Cause there isn't anything to recount. So requesting money for a 'recount'.... That's a lot of funds, with no true explaination for what it's going to be used for. Some for lawyer fees..yes.. I would expect that. But that hasn't been what the money request has been for.

Black Box, that is a good cause. It just pisses me off that so many activist have been raising a stink about this issue.. and everyone 'on this' problem has been totally ignored as 'lunes' by those in charge. And NOW they want help. But just for 'this' election and 'this' one race. There are TONS across the country that I"m sure have the same issues. Which people TRIED to prevent. It's harder to do anything about the election, after the fact.
