Diebold Blocks Alaska Voters From Viewing Election 2004 Results, Data!
In just one more story which illustrates the many undemocratic dangers of allowing private companies to "own" our public elections, Diebold, Inc., one of America's largest Voting Machine Companies is currently blocking citizens in Alaska from viewing election data from the 2004 general election!

2. I dare any Alaskan court to uphold Diebold's "rights" here...
"That's right citizens. Your vote belongs to a private company who may tell you only what they wish"

I double-dog dare ya to rule that.

3. Thank RBHam...
For posting this. I've been too busy to remember to drop by to yell about some of this stuff lately!

Always appreciate folks making noise to help get the word out about what's going on with democracy in this country!
