CNN just Covered BBV (as well as cable "covers" anything) but mentioned:
All of 5 minutes:

1) Nothing really done to prevent other Floridas.
2) signatures by voters in Florida asking the elimination of BBV.
Senator Nelson (FL) spoke about it.
The state refuses to audit the machines....THEY SHOULD BE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS IN THE NEWS!!!
3) some states have forbidden the use of machines.

For us here in DU to cover this so little is a slap in the face... and talking about it when we are almost at election time is unconscionable!

1. Florida is SUPPOSED to have a "Sunshine" rule. That every move
made by the state government is made in the sunlight for all citizens to see.

Yeah. Right.

2. Sorry, I can't keep track of all the acronyms here - want more exposure?
find a more appealing term than BBV. JMHO.

4. Long thread here "Let's Face It...They Will Steal This Election"

Thanks for the post about the CNN clip about an issue that should consume 4 hours.

I agree "there is nothing really done to prevent another Florida" on a large scale.

Thank God for Bev Harris who has told us time and time again how important this issue is to America and the world.
