2. Campaigning is hard work! Why not let the machines...

...decide the election?

When will the Democrats unveil their voting machine?

3. Well, in GA

It could be 2006. Diebold's poster girl, Sect. of State Cathy Cox, is running for Governor. Methinks there could be some sort of sweet deal. No???

God, I hope so. One Republican Governor since Reconstruction and the state has gone straight to hell.

5. Remember, Diebold has only accomplished 50% of its goal

It set, and met, the goal of accurately counting every Republican vote.

With additional funding (and no pesky lawsuits), Diebold can move forward with its plan to count every Democratic vote. Diebold scientists confidently predict that they'll reach this milestone within the decade.

4. That's an interesting concept.

Let the voter choose the "red" voting machine (approved by the RNC) or the "blue" voting machine (approved by the DNC). That would at least nuetralize the perceived advantage that Republicans enjoy with their corporate donors who control the electronic vote today.

7. You know it

And I trust it to be more accurate than Diebold's voting machines...

Rubyduby, do you feel that the outcome of the 2004 election was accurate?

Outlook Not So Good
