Oct. 30, 2006 -- So now the GOP tries to imply their electronic vote theft is really Chávez moving U.S. elections toward those he wants to win?
A Miami Herald story tries to imply electronic voting problems in the United States on Sequoia machines are biased the way Venezuela’s Chávez wants the election to go, because one of the manufacturers selling voting machines in the United States, Sequoia, has the same ownership as the company that made the machines used in Venezuela’s elections.
Do media folks ever research GOP PR blurbs? President Carter "ok'd" the electronic voting on the "Smartmatic" voting machines -- with extensive documentation of why. Did anyone at the Miami Herald notice that the Venezuelan voting machine’s have both paper trails and a process that includes audits? The total process was reviewed by international observers -- yet the Miami Herald lets this story get planted with none of the above background.
Perhaps the Miami Herald's print space might be better used discussing why the electronic voting machine company felt it needed a different voting machine -- a machine that met GOP standards for ease of stealing the vote while leaving no trail -- so that Sequoia's electronic voting machines could be competitive, in a GOP sense, with the Diebold machines that the Princeton University video showed were so easy to use to steal elections while leaving no trace of the theft?
