ALERT NC Duers and BBV people!!
ALERT !!!! Gary Bartlett spinning bad canvass for more DRE's, CONTACT!!!


I just heard this on channel 14, since 20 NC counties missed their canvass Gary Bartlett (who heads the elections in NC, our state is one of the few where the Sec of State does not control elections) is saying that it's the prov. ballots that are causing the trouble, and that the solution is to buy and more DRE's!! I don't know his political affil. but he's spinning like a repuke, and I know the citizens of NC DON'T WANT THIS! He said they need 80 million dollars and they have 50 Million, and so they are only 30 away. HELL NO!!! Please everybody, please contact him and your reps to let them know we want an end to DREs.

Bartlett, Gary
Executive Secretary-Director State Board of Elections
P.O. Box 2169 Raleigh, NC 2760
(919) 733-7173

2. it really is insane...
after the machines in NC perofrmed the worst ever in this election and they want more!!! The problem is the connection between the DRE vendors and our election officials. It is damn incestuous! In my part of NC George Gilbert is a member of 'The Election center', a mysterious organization funded by Diebold and others to get those DREs across America. Bev has written a lot about these bad relationships in her book Black Box Voting. The fact is it is OUR vote and there should be no corporate or political connection to it but just the opposite is true!
