I posted this earlier in GD http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4968202&mesg_id=4968202

I know it's early, but I think this is sign we should strike while the iron is hot. Also, Strickland is nearly tied with Blackwell in the Gov. race http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-flash05a.html?project=elections06-ft&h=495&w=778&hasAd=1&mod=blogs

1. WE CAN TAKE OHIO WITH AN HONEST VOTE ONLY.

Dean better unleash the dogs of war on those voting machines NOW!

2. Question?

Is it just my voting precinct, or, does anyone else here in Ohio vote by filling in a bubble with a pencil? I have been voting since I turned 18 in February 2003 and have used nothing other than a paper ballot.

Are these machines used only in larger, metropolitan areas (I'm in rural Erie County)?

3. The machines in question are down in south and central Ohio

I believe they are mandated to be in place by the 2006 elelction...

But in Cuyahoga, we use puncards....

5. Punch cards here in Montgomery Co. (Dayton) n/t

4. About 5 Ohio counties use electronic voting machines

About a dozen counties use optical-scan paper ballots. The other seventy or so counties use the traditional "lever" machines (Shoup) that tally votes on counting wheels.
