Kenneth Blackwell
Ok, now that Blackwell has won the GOP primary for Gov. of Ohio and is also a shareholder in Diebold, I wonder who's going to win Ohio in November?

Just a thought!:puke:

1. Strickland....n/t
I have a feeling this will be a very closely-watched race and I have a feeling Strickland is going to win and if Blackwell is smart, he won't touch those machines. And the people of Ohio will know what to expect now and I have a feeling they will stay until they get to vote.

3. Since it is a fact that these machines can be hacked AND
by all indications were hacked to give Bush the win in 2004 and to help such candidates as Blackwell, why are we whining? We are a lot smarter and creative than the Republicans. Why don't we just hack them!!!????

I have heard that many have infrared ports so that hacking is very easy and does not require any one to even touch the machine.

If we start talking about our hacking them, then the Republicans would have to speak to and act on the issue of verifiable voting and a paper trail.

Just a thought.

4. Stickland, but ...
