2006 E-VOTING 'TRAIN WRECK': Investigations and Problems Continue to Spread

As the Voters Continue to Pay the Price
And as We Continue to Connect the Dots the Mainstream Media Still Won't…

The Electronic Voting Machine Vendor locomotive is still running away down the track at an alarming speed. However, this week some states and county election officials seem to be beginning to notice and are now sending out signals that they intend to either stop the train or – barring that -- at least ensure that companies such as Election Systems and Software (ES&S) do not profit too much from their arrogance, ineptitude and now epidemic failures.

Legal complaints against the company were filed this week in West Virginia and Indiana to add to the one previously under way in Oregon. Threats have been heard from Texas, Arkansas, Ohio and elsewhere. Election officials have been forced to change voting procedures in many states and counties to accommodate for ES&S' growing array of failures.

What is the federal Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) doing about all of this? Not a thing that we can see. They are just sitting back and telling the world that they have no power to regulate. The corporate mainstream media? Well, the local, and in some cases state-wide, media are reporting what is happening and editorial boards are doing their thing but the national media is sitting with their eyes closed -- failing to connect any dots whatsoever – and keeping mum on this train wreck in the making.

Ssshh! Don't tell anybody. We'd hate to disturb the voters…

6. I have a solution for this one:

Election officials have been forced to change voting procedures in many states and counties to accommodate for ES&S' growing array of failures."

Local government: print paper ballots correctly. Provide voters with pens to mark the ballots. Count the ballots at the precincts.

Problem solved.
