ES&S just bought Diebold as of yesterday, & they pretty much OWN our elections nationwide now.

For those who did not see it yesterday over at Election Reform, this is big -- ESSbold is now in 46 states and will supply and service the vast majority of voting systems in this country.

2. Notice that no real changes have been made in correcting our tainted election system.
The D's are as complicit as the R's in wanting to control the outcomes of elections. Corporations run our system and control the outcomes so they can continue their hold on power.
