23. its not just ChoicePoint being attacked
they are also attacking Vote Trust USA and Verified Voting,
the two groups that have actually been able to get this
issue into the mainstream media, and have actually helped
get states' laws passed.

This is swift boating.

I would rather have someone good, someone progressive take over a
company that needs to be changed, wouldn't you?

Now,a pro VVPB candidate for Secretary of State in Georgia
is going to be swiftboated.

Maybe some folks don't want verified voting, and if
they see it coming to a state like Georgia, they try to
knock it down.

Some folks make big money off of this issue, heck,
Black Box Voting took in nearly $1 Million in 2004,
and if every state got verified voting, and especially
if HR 550 passed, there would be very little for bbv.org to do!

HR 550 would put Diebold and some "activists" groups out of business.
