11. NEWS FLASH: the official press release by ZOGBY now OUT!!

Zogby poll: strong 92% support public access & info re vote counting
<http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1163> (press release weblink)

An extraordinary 92% of Americans believe that the public should have the right to observe vote counting and obtain information about it, according to a brand new Zogby poll of 1018 registered likely voters, taken August 11-15, 2006.

Attorney Paul Lehto, who commissioned the Zogby Poll*, stated "If there are any American political values that rate any higher than election transparency, we haven't been able to find them. But if such political values exist, they CERTAINLY ARE NOT UNDER THE ATTACK THAT ELECTION TRANSPARENCY IS. This attack on transparency and loss of public rights to observe and supervise their own elections has occurred because of widespread government purchases of electronic voting machines that feature software claimed by vendors to be protected by trade secrecy and proprietary rights against any public observation or disclosure. Because of $4 billion in federal funding to states and counties under the Help America Vote Act of 2002, these new invisible electronic ballots are used by a rapidly increasing majority of Americans against the wishes of 92% of all Americans, according to Zogby. Under electronic voting run under this regime of trade secrecy, American citizens are never allowed at any time to verify if their elections are open, honest and accurate, and the government actually ends up ganging up with its vendors to fight citizen requests for information about the secret vote counting that is occurring. It is by no means "progress" to take checks and balances or public oversight out of elections, it is more like the biggest step backwards for democracy imaginable."
