3. Nice. But what of Cathy Cox?
If she loses in the Primary for Gov, does she have to give up her current gig? Can she run for 2 offices in the primary at the same time, aside from the fact that it's a Diebold system I mean?

4. She's only running for Governor
She's got her sites on bigger things than the SoS office.

Yes, she has to give up the current gig in January.

Let's just hope she doesn't rig the machines for Scott's opponent - Sham Reedy. He thinks tossing $54 million voting machines and buying new is a great plan.

7. OKAY!!!! I'm donating!!! I get calls from many political
action committees, candidates.... I ask each one to give me their groups/candidates top three issues. Often they have to put me on hold... they have no idea. I have donated to only 1 out of 10 thus far. If they do not mention 'election reform' - and are concerned w/electronic voting......

I will politely hang up.

Holcomb may be 1800 miles away, but I will donate to him. He deserves it for being smart enough to expose the burning house.... most of the others just want to paint walls in a burning building.

8. "We see receipts all the time, so why don't we see one when we vote?"


Watch Scott Holcomb's New Ad

Holcomb's ad makes a memorable and logical point in short time.

Scott Holcomb, Democratic candidate for Georgia Secretary of State,
hits the airwaves with this ad about the potential insecurity of
electronic voting systems in Georgia and across the nation

This video starts out showing you the various types of
machines we encounter day in and day out
that print receipts or paper records
http://www.scottholcomb.com/downloads/receipts_quicktime.html


In the video, Holcomb says
"We see receipts all the time, so why don't we see one when we vote?"

A veteran, Holcomb points out that he fought oversees for
our right to vote.

April 26, 2006 -- Scott Holcomb's Comprehensive Plan to Make
Every Vote Count and Reform Election Administration Procedures in Georgia

10. Very nice ad, indeed.
Holcomb also has a winning way about him, no pun intended.

12. Great ad!
Simple, effective. Does not attack any person or party. Lets constituents know Mr. Holcomb is a vet without being OTT nationalistic. Just a great ad. Gives me hope for south.

K&R'd! :thumbsup:

13. I'll have hope when candidates like Scott get in office
But it is nice to see the truth without personal attacks on others.
