The news has been full of ES&S having problems delivering optical-scan machines and now Diebold seems to have a problem delivering promised DREs to customers in Ohio. For the third time, the New York Times has editorialized in favor of optical-scan voting. In Alaska Diebold is doing all they can to cover-up the failures of their machines in 2004 by not allowing the state to release some files. Maryland’s SoS is finally showing ‘great concern’ about the Diebold machines she has been touting for years….

In Alaska Diebold can call upon Senator Ted Stevens to do a classic neoCon coverup for them.
He is one of the most crazed senators of the Tom DeLay ilk.
Murkowski is not so bad, and has joined in the filibuster against the "patriot" act.
I think she would be the one to work thru on this, not Stevens.
John Gideon:
Here it is: Spread the word to everyone you know…… VOTE-PAD paper ballots marking system.
Throw out your useless machines, and use the new technology of the 21st century!
Bring it to Alaska, Arizona, everywhere and keep spreading the word!!!!
