Last week the Netherlands did away with e-voting and their DREs made by a company called “NEDAP.” These same machines were sold to Ireland under the brand name “Liberty.” “Liberty” is now being marketed in New York. Ireland paid 51.3m Euros to purchase their machines then they found out they were insecure and had many problems. The machines have been in storage since they were purchased. They have never been used. Instead of taking NEDAP to court for restitution, or scrapping the machines; the Irish have now decided to take out 25-year rental leases for storage facilities. The government has taken a lease for the 288 machines in storage in County Monaghan for over 27,000 Euros a year.

Off topic but should be looked at: In Ohio, in jurisdictions where the voter verified audit trail is printed on a roll, like a toilet paper roll and reeled up on a second roll, it is now possible, through the Ohio Public Records law to obtain both lists of voters at each polling place, but it is also possible to obtain a copy of the audit roll, which can then be compared to the order of Authority to Vote records, and each voter’s selections can then be determined. In effect, a voter’s vote is no longer secret. Here is a link to the story:
Votes not secret article
Anyone that supports electronic voting machines that physically do a tabulation of the vote count needs to have their head examined by a psychiatrist.
Scratch that…
Thrown in prison.
Why? because every country these machines are rolled out in have suffered, and who ever is behind this shit needs to be revealed and prosecuted before all governments are under one.
These electronic voting machines are simply a proxy for global terrorism!
Fuck everyone who disagrees.
Democrat Rockefeller is a neoCon perhaps. We are still waiting for the Phase II promised several years ago.
He is enabling the bushies. Others, like me, are resisting the bushies.
BIG BROTHER is a bushie.
