4. Any repairs/improvements probably won't be implemented by '08!!!
That's IT! We CANNOT VOTE ON THOSE MACHINES!

9. This is exactly why Brad Friedman (BradBlog) is working on the
Busby/Bilbray hand count. Not to help Busby, but to help US get rid of these machines! Please go to http://www.bradblog.com/?p=2926
and do whatever you can.

15. He is doing a tremendous job! Did you see this video report by
Cathleen Crier at Court TV?

I don't know where you live, but Brad will be at DemFest here in San Diego (where I live), I can't wait to hear him again. I heard him a few weeks ago in Oceanside where he and Mimi Kennedy of PDA had a town hall meeting about the voting machines. It was so inspiring. We can't make any progress if the cheating machines are allowed to exist.

6. Diebold makes a TON of bank machines. can you imagine what
would happen if they broke down that often?

can you imagine EVER using one if they didn't give you a receipt that allowed you to track exactly what happened during your transaction?

know why they don't break down very often?

because they cost at least TEN TIMES as much as the e-voting machines they've succeeded in foisting on the country.

BIG profit center, when you can make machines for that much less, and still charge an arm and a leg.

7. Yeah. That's what some evoting supporter said, but another guy was on
and said they're too unreliable. Then they ended with: IF any improvements/repairs need to be done, they more than likely WILL NOT BE DONE BY '08!!:grr::nuke::grr::nuke::grr: NOW will the Democrats do SOMETHING????

11. It's all posted above. 1/10 of all machines fail. IF repairs are needed,
they will NOT be repaired by the '08 election. :grr: The machines are not reliable. That's about it.:(

That's great.

I wasn't going to change the channel from a movie I'm watching.
