On Oct. 13 I led off DVN with a graf concerning an “Alert” that was on the Maricopa County Democratic Party website. If you waited until Saturday morning to go to the link provided you would not have found the “Alert.” It had been removed. I followed up today and talked to the County Recorder and the Executive Director of the county Democratic Party. What I wrote in that graf was true to some extent. In fact, a contractor for the state Democratic Party pays $4 per registration for each registration turned-in to the County Recorders. Maricopa County has received 26,000 new registrations. Of those 26,000 only 5,000 were any good. The reasons for the rejected forms were varied and among those were some forms for legal aliens. The County Recorder has met with the contractor and a representative of the state party. She has also talked to Immigration on behalf of those who were taken in by the scheme. Is there a problem with the way legal aliens are being treated and the possibility that they may lose their ability to file for citizenship? Yes, very much so. The overriding problem, however, is paying people to gather registrations. That practice needs to stop.
There was a public hearing in California today. There are no reports yet about whether ES&S will be punished for selling uncertified voting machines to some counties. I’m sure we will hear more tomorrow….

To anyone at Brad blog who can answer this. Over 2 weeks ago all e-mails I sent to Countdown (msnbc)have been returned to me. I’m being blocked aren’t I? I’ve e-mailed Hardball just to see if they go through, they do. If I am being blocked is there any way to stop it? I’m a faithful Keith fan.
Try different email address’s they tend to change them.
If your IP is being blocked try a proxy. Or get a throw away email account.
Also in other news . . .
I just heard something about ES&S is getting massively sued (I think they lost their case now. e.g. defeated) for selling uncertified machines.
I am sure Brad will hear about this soon. I gotta make my show right now, so I am off to sillyworld to take care of that.
Here’s some linkage. Dunno if this is right:

A100’s were (supposedly certified) but A200’s were shipped. Goes to show you can’t trust these manufacturer’s or their electronic voting machines at all what-so-ever.

Okay looks like I got tricked, I don’t know if they lost or not.
They should loose. -IMO
Why do they have to broadcast this crap on the air and create confusion? Fucking CBS.
If I am wrong don’t be mad at me, be mad at CBS news coming across 1240 AM. I still wonder why 1240 allows CBS news (I think I said ABC news in an earlier post, but who gives a fuck)
The fuckin fact is ES&S sold uncertified machines, and those pieces of shit were used and whether or not they effected the vote–even slightly should be a matter of great concern. If not national security.
