6. This is important.
It needs to keep creeping into the mainstream media and then the MOs can't ignore it anymore. The News Hour stopped short of exposing the flaws of the touch screen single entry voting machines. Everyone should send the information on DU to their local news outlets and any others they watch. The more information the news outlets get the more exposure the story will get.

I sent info to our local news media and our local newspaper did a story on it. If this happens across the country, then it will force the government to investigate this problem.

7. Yes, I've been saying all day that the
Edited on Mon Sep-15-03 06:47 PM by nomaco-10
court intervention and delay of the recall election may just be the thing to get this issue out to the public. If it hadn't been for Ahhnold being on the news 24/7 this story would never see air time. Punch ballot problems could lead to BBV discussion all over the mass media. It's GREAT.

12. Here's the link
....Election.com, a struggling Garden City start-up scheduled to provide online absentee ballots for U.S. military personnel in the 2004 federal election, has quietly sold controlling power to an investment group with ties to unnamed Saudi nationals, according to company correspondence.......
.......In a Newsday interview in October, Charles Smith, a representative of Osan who sits on Election.com's board, declined to name the Saudi Arabian investors with a stake in the company, other than to say they were "passive" and part of a larger group that included Americans and Europeans. Smith didn't return phone calls yesterday.......

13. Ummmmm, It's Owned By
...Accenture now.

But, yeh, owned by Saudi's until I saw one story that said maybe the Saudi thing was a front for Yemen interests then, bam, couple days later the "Saudi's" dropt out and Accenture, who was partnered with them, bought it.

By the way, last I looked, the DNC had contracted with Election.com to do the convention voting? Better see what's happenig there.

Wouldn't want someone else selecting the Democratic Presidential nominee, would we?
