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

In Parke Co. Indiana a candidate canceled his election complaint but only after the county agreed to address some issues including a thorough testing of voting machines and software before the election; an adequate number of voting machines to allow for efficient operation of the polls; and thorough training for all poll workers on the use of electronic voting machines. Also, the parties acknowledged that several votes on one of the machines had not been counted election night because of a “systemic failure”. Why would it take a threatened election challenge for a county to agree to do their jobs? / The Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) has announced that they, for the first time, are reviewing the sale, as regards to national security, of a company to foreign interests ““ Sequoia Voting Systems….

      Something interesting at Dkos:

      John Laesch On Protecting Your Vote

      John is running for the 14th District’s Congressional seat against House Speaker Dennis Hastert…John held a press conference in DuPage to announce that he will support H.R. 550 when elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. DuPage county is having a crisis in their ability to assure every vote is counted.

      John Laesch adds his comments in thread:

      Ultimately, we have to do better than 550
      In our next round of action in DuPage County we will be asking Lt. Gov. candidate, Joe Burkett (sp?) to hold the DuPage election commission accountable.

      DuPage destroyed all of the electronic media after 60 days. The federal legislation says that all election-related material must be retained for 22 months.

      Currently, Joe Burket is the States Attorney in DuPage County and he has not lifted a finger.

      We’re going to raise a little hell as the election gets closer.

      John

      Now that warms my heart — a candidate that is protecting the voters even before he gets elected!

      This is the time to be standing up and saying something about stolen elections, and even the appearance of it, both before and after the fact.

      This “sore loser” tactic is growing real thin!
