This world would be a better place if Diebold wasn't in it!

How in the world can we keep on thinking about O6 and who will be our candidate while Big Bad Diebold is in office?

The clock is ticking and DIEBOLD is on the ballot to win the next election.

1. There are 50 ways elections are stolen. Too few machines, faulty
exit polls, jamming phone banks, whipping freepers into a frenzy of baser instincts against gays, swiftboating our leaders, the supreme court, vetting felons by race (voting pattern) in certain districts, putting off scandal (Ohio), and on and on.

We have to get through all of that. I don't believe diebold is anything but a way to create apaty amongst Dems. And with only 65% of eligible American voters voting.. in recent elections.. that is the biggest way elections are stolen.

Fight the apathy!!

2. We need to fight more than apathy


In the last election, Kerry was drawing HUGE crowds, people were standing in loooooog lines to vote Democratic and still, in Florida and Ohio, and other places too, those nasty little polls played crazy.


If we don't have fair elections, it won't matter how many folks we get to the polls.

3. I wouldn't teach that. Why the apathy. You mention Ohio where there
were too few machines in some heavily dem districts. So should we ensure there are enough machines? Or not? Your choice!
