Mike Malloy is so right about this
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 10:56 PM by madaboutharry
He is 100% on the money about the voting machines and the coming dismantling of our democracy. The frogs are slowly boiling and they don't feel a thing. Not yet. It is going to happen. We are a dying nation.

The democrats who are in office must mount a campaign to go back to paper ballots.

And the republicans who are not part of this Reconstructionist movement have to get out of the party. Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, Chuck Hagel, and whoever else, must get out. They have an obligation to declare themselves Independents and honor the democracy that they are expected to protect.

2. I Have Told My Brother This As Well
No Voting, everything else will have to be on the "Back Burner". But we still can decide to boycot products and services to hit them where it hurts. It will not require that much time away from the Number One priority!!!

Which is why Kerry should have insisted on an investigation of Ohio

3. He is DEAD ON.
The one issue I was not willing to face, that left me feeling utterly powerless is electronic vote fraud. We need to destroy these machines, or at the very least, make it so they are never used in an election. Computer software is too unstable.

4. Somewhere, I heard about this....
I forget where right now, probably NPR, but they were talking about Diebold machines. You realize that Diebold makes a large number of bank ATM machines. In SOME way, they manage to handle large numbers of banking transactions DAILY, with literally 100% accuracy....AND they provide a paper trail!!!!!
Now....why can't they do THAT with a voting machine??????

5. of course he is
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 11:10 PM by bullimiami
the democrats in congress should have taken this seriously, they had 4 years and did nothing.

the exit polling was right again and we are ripped off again.

anyone who payed attention to bev harris and greg palast was worried about this coming.


why cant diebold do it with the voting machines? they could of course. it is by design.

7. Electronic voting will prevail as a reliable method.
Another thread links to a yahoo news article. "Makers said Tuesday that electronic voting would prevail as a reliable method."
