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

UniLect is trying to regain a foothold in the voting machine market after their equipment meltdown in Carteret Co., North Carolina in 2004. Oh, wait! It wasn’t the machines fault it was the elections officials fault. We hear that tired litany over and over again. / In Arkansas 8 counties have now chosen to eschew their poll site voting machines and their voters will use paper ballots in the run-off elections next week. ES&S has failed to service their contracts in those counties. Those counties will be violating state and federal law….

      Where is Congress? Where are the indictments? Where are the Democrats? I’m tired of reporters uncovering new voting fraud cases with no action being taken. Something official has to happen. ’06 is almost here. ’08 is around the corner. This theft of the presidency is going to happen again if Diebold and any other voting machine company whose product does not provide a paper trail, is not shut out of the voting process. Who is going to get it done? Please hurry!
