‘Daily Voting News’ For May 26, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

Votes in some Arkansas counties are still being tallied. Meanwhile early voting is supposed be begin next Tuesday for run-off elections on June 13. Needless to say some counties in the state will not be ready for early voting. A good example of how the inept work of ES&S affects more than just one election. Also in Arkansas the SoS has announced that they have hired InfoSentry to analyze the work done by ES&S. Boyd County Kentucky announced that a recanvass found no major changes in elections results. They also announced that the machines from one complete precinct were never counted in the original count. And, members of the NASED Voting Systems Board admit in emails that NASED certifies voting systems even with the knowledge that they must be modified in order to be used and, therefore, are no longer certified….

      That’s cool Floridiot!

      We’ve made some ground on the "Net Neutrality" front too! I wonder if the bipartisan interest there woke up the FCC.

      Are we starting to see the seeds of change in this public trust?

      It is incredible that NASED Certifies Voting Systems They Know Must Be Modified And No Longer Be Certified:

      "This means that every jurisdiction using ES&S voting equipment is using unique, unexamined, uncertified software to record, count, and tabulate votes. The participants in the email thread are uncertain whether or not this is true for the other vendors’ products" (John’s Link, bold added).

      Standards don’t matter when they know, and standards have no effect either way.

      Sick!

      This…
      "TOP 10 SIGNS OF THE IMPENDING U.S. POLICE STATE"
      http://www.alternet.org/rights/36553/

      …is nothing we don’t already know, but it’s laid out nice & neat & concise.
      I plan on writing another futile letter, to Gore, & this list might be worth including, with a note that the other nine points are all dependent upon #5.

      Although I do have this depressing, paranoid daydream where Gore is relaxing in his suite after having won the presidency, there’s a knock on the door & in walks cheney, who slaps him on the back & says "Thanks, Al, we did it again".

      Bradblogsters,

      For your long weekend reading, be sure to read up on reality: http://www.911research.com

      Another key resource is http://www.fromthewilderness.com

      As we try to get our elections back, try to realize the magnitude of what we are really up against. These are criminals, not just the "other party".

      I keep trying to tell my mainstream friends. They keep saying ‘oh, the pendulum will swing back, and then we’ll be able to sort things out and the US system will get back in balance."

      Who has confidence in this, and what is your source? I’d like to know.

      Floridiot,
      Haha, I dunno, but I kept pausing the video & running it over again, and it’s just….ODD. Kind of like the infamous ‘bulge’ in dubya’s jacket.
      Maybe we should start scrutinizing other bushbuddies for strange bulges & appendages….communication with the Mother Ship, perhaps??
