related story. Methinks that Andy, in his enthusiasm, typed a tad to fast - rendering the post a tad confusing. No doubt, however, about the tone of it being BIG.

[drfemoe]

17. I think CA is

throwing Diebold to the lawyers . decertified ? IOW . criminal charges for failure to meet contract standards .. or something like that. Looking for links now.

[stellanoir]

18. Hoorayyyyyy

But hate to nit pick here but does that nullify the previous ruling that the machines would have to generate paper by July of '06. . .?

Hope so 'cause that was so unbelievably lame.

[nostamj]

19. message is...

Diebold machines are junk
Diebold lied
Diebold's machines have been de-certified (can't be used in elections)
Diebold may have criminal and civil actions by the state

is that pretty much it?

[Andy_Stephenson]

45. I'd say you covered all the bases.

yes indeed

[Az_lefty]

11. WHAT?????

is this something about voting machines?

16. This is how we win back our country

All we need is and fair accurate vote tabulation

[MoonRiver]

[Timefortruth]

20. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but who is the California AG?

Is he a good guy?

[rockymountaindem]

23. He's the guy who refused

to impliment Arnold's demand to stop same-sex marriages. Sounds good for us. I know he's a Democrat. Although Davis was recalled, the rest of the state officials are still Dems, including the Lt. Gov, the AG and the legislature.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

32. He's a Democrat!

:bounce:

[Trajan]

37. California AG ....

Bill Lockyer, former Democratic Party candidate for Office of Governor of the State of California ..

Lockyer is a fiscal and social moderate .... a Law and Order guy with a heart ...

[ParanoidPat]

47. Give him a call and ask that he pursue legal action.....

24. Panel recommends ban on computer voting system in four counties

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/8494656.htm?1c

DECISION THAT WOULD NOVEMBER ELECTION RESTS WITH SECRETARY OF STATE SHELLEY

By Elise Ackerman

Mercury News


SACRAMENTO - An advisory panel unanimously recommended this morning that Secretary of State Kevin Shelley ban use of a computerized voting system in four California counties.

The panel also called on state Attorney General Bill Lockyer to open a criminal investigation into the conduct of Diebold Election Systems, the Ohio-based firm that manufactured the touch-screen system.

The advisory panel had convened a two-day hearing in Sacramento on Wednesday to review a report that Diebold had jeopardized the March primary by selling an untested and poorly functioning election system in California.

The recommendation to decertify Diebold's TSx balloting system, if adopted, would force officials in San Joaquin, Solano, San Diego and Kern

ZDNet also has a story "California votes against Diebold"

34. Call the State and Local elections officials NOW!

Thank them for this first step but politely and firmly DEMAND that ALL touch screen equipment be decertified until they offer voter verified paper ballots for allowing proper audit capabilities for our elections!
We won this battle but the war rages on. There are still 13 other counties using Diebold touch screens IIRC, they must be stopped as well.

59. Here is my version

Step One...Insert voter activation card

Step two...Touch screen as if it matters

Step three...Don't worry your vote was counted correctly.

[ParanoidPat]

71. Ain't that the TRUTH!

YES!

60. GREAT news!!

congrats to bev, andy and all other bbv activists!

we might just have a fighting chance in november because of this!

[Imalittleteapot]

61. Got a reply to my letter to the TX Secretary of State,

Conner (Perry's rumored friend), regarding BBV and paper verification. It's 4 pages of bs. I will post excerpts when I have time.

Point is, we need to be working on Texas, dear fellow Lone Star Staters.

Great news from California! Thanks Bev!

and loving it.

[Bushfire]

65. Lot's of late day SELL activity

got to love it. Thank you Jim March, Bev, Andy, RedEagle, GregD, and everybody else who made this happen! :yourock:

[tridim]

82. Wow, if this thing spirals out of control

and I think it will, we could get all kinds of lawsuits going and completely wipe out Rove's "Diebolded election" plan. Biggest Democratic landslide in American history! Thanks Bev, you are simply amazing!

[Bushfire]

85. Stock opened even lower today

but looks like it will close the same as yesterday. Around 11:15am EST it looked like a big BUY order went thru, which could be false support by major players who are sympathetic to Wally O'Dell. Something to keep an eye on during the next week. Will State Pension Boards recommend selling Diebold? Could this be an item someone could research?

[Kahuna]

66. Aw darn. * was so looking forward to Arnold stealing CA....

with those machines. This is blow to the bushistas.

[Catherine Vincent]

67. I just wonder if CNN will report this.

But they did manage to report the senator's wife that beat up another woman because of some mulch. That's newsworthy for sure.

72. Let's see...Diebold can provide receipts for their ATMs

...and just why is it, again, that they can't get their voting machines to do the same???

[Catherine Vincent]

73. Yep. Inquiring minds want to know....

[klook]

69. Let's keep this ball rolling NATIONWIDE!!

This is very encouraging news! Those of us in other states with BBV (I'm in Georgia, the worst of the worst in this regard) need to use this to step up pressure on our local and state officials to stop the use of these crappy, dangerous systems.

[burrowowl]

81. LOL

Very good when one clicks on the pic!

86. Don't Forget to Contact Shelley to Stay the Course

Re: Paranoid Pat's post above for contact information.

You have to imagine that the big guns are trained on Shelley right now, telling him what NOT to do.

Time to shower his office in mail, again.

He works for the people, not vested corporate/political interests.

Everyone please- this won't affect just California.

Shelley can be a true patriot- or another sell out.


While you're at it, all for some repercussions on those local election officials who purchased equipment against California LAW.

Why is it they get to complain, huh?


Write the California senators who are pushing a bill to demand voter verified paper ballots by November 2004.


Is it going to be the will of the people, or the will of a few interests?


Don't let decisions be made without your input.


Show them what "Rock" really means!
