And still another complaint registered against DRE/touch-screen voting systems. It’s Diebold’s turn again this time. According to the Dayton Daily News…
The avalanche of these types of complaints and lawsuits is just beginning, people. Will Congress and Elections Officials figure it out any time soon?
In any case, it doesn’t look like Montgomery County’s Election Director, Steve Harsman, has joined the rest of us here in Reality Land yet.
Even after the story linked above detailed a member of the board of elections who “said the machine he used would not record his vote” properly, Harsman told the paper that “he believes most of the problems can be explained by voters unfamiliarity with the new machines, rather than equipment failure.”
The BRAD BLOG begs to respectfully disagree with Harsman. We believe most of the problems can instead be explained by Mr. Harsman’s overfamiliarity with the bullshit he’s been peddled by Diebold, in addition to a complete Election Director failure.
E-Voting – Game Over. We win. They lose. Move on. Get over it. The only question now is how long it takes them to get it and how many more elections jerks like Harsman are willing to see trashed (and how many voters he’s willing to trash along the way.)

See the Avi Rubin post …
And to anybody who would ever publically say that election integrity is a “non-partisan” issue, I would point out that in THIS case, 100% of the vote flipping was Democratic votes being flipped to Republican, NOT the other way around.
The Republicans have figured out how to game the system on ten different levels from illegal and legal-but-immoral voter supression all the way to outright judicial over-ride of election results, and everything in between.
As soon as Democrats and non-Rethuglicans realize that this is a battle to the death and that the Rethuglicans are playing to win, we can get on with it.
We do not have to wonder why the republiscum party has no regard for the American people, and the laws of this country. They know they will not have to be accountable because they steal our elections. The Democrats have to fight for a paper ballot. Not only the Democrats, if they wan’t to keep their job and care anything for this country. All of us need to.
