Does anyone have any other links of him writing about this? I saw him mention it on CSPAN over the weekend too when he was on with Thom Hartmann.

I also posted this topic in GD:

1. I like what Mark says, but I still have to go Absentee
And I am not trying to discredit his theory, but I can vote absentee and still show up at the revolt, I just hope I ain't the only one there, but because of stories like this, its hard for me to vote, into them slimey machines.

Alaska Dems File Lawsuit to get at State's Diebold's 2004 Election Data!

Would like to know why there was 200% voter turnout, and many other still-unexplained anomolies in election…

In December 2005, the Dems asked the state for the election data files from the '04 election. They were told that they couldn't have that information, because the state's contract with Alaska made that information a "company secret" of Diebold's!

After complaints to the state, and the state's consultation with Diebold, the state agreed to release the information, but only after informing the Dems they'd have to cover the cost of (and this is a direct quote from their letter), "manipulating the data" before releasing it!

Finally, before the data could be released — "manipulated" or otherwise — the state's top security official announced they would not release the information after all because it was a "security risk."

Oh, how I wish I was making this shit up. But I'm not.

2. NO!!!!!!
Don't you remember how Republicans used long lines to discourage voters in 2004? Don't you remember how Republicans moved polling places, took away polling stations and otherwise manipulated long lines in Democratic precincts? Long lines discourage voters.

Vote early! Find another way to make a statement on election day.
