Emerging Diebold Scandal in MD
Montgomery County, Maryland.
According to county election officials and other sources, all Maryland voting machines have been on "lockdown" since November 2, 2004 due to statewide machine failures including 12% of machines in Montgomery County, some of which appear to have lost votes in significant numbers. The State Board of Elections convinced the media that Election Day went smoothly, when in fact there were serious statewide, systemic problems with the Diebold electronic voting machines -- so serious that the SBE and Diebold still have not figured out how to prevent the loss of votes in the future.

We are in for some very dark days but at the end of the tunnel is light and goodness. I can't wait for the democrats to win and get sworn in. This country and this world can't take more of this criminal regime.

4. That's cool!
"Three independent reports have raised serious concerns about the security of Diebold machines, and now we have seen the worst come to pass. These machines are unreliable and insecure. How many more warnings do Maryland officials need in order to take action to protect the vote?"

5. Exactly! And when are they going to take the machines apart and forensic
evidence can finally be revealed?

We need Miami: CSI all over this country, looking at the election, and there are some mighty suspect characters trying to prevent that from happening.
