‘Daily Voting News’ For March 09, 2006

It’s been a very busy day today. Summit Co., Ohio found that 30% of the memory cards in their ES&S optical scan machines have failed. Apparently ES&S has no quality control. Will they tell the rest of the country about these problems? It’s probably too late for counties in Texas that have had major failures in their primary last Tuesday. Tarrant Co., TX reported that 100,000 votes were added to the totals on their Hart Intercivic DREs. The solution? Remove 50,000 per candidate and call it good enough. In Pinellas Co., FL voters reported that their votes on Sequoia Edge machines were being swapped to the default candidate. We’ve heard that one before. Of course, ES&S and Hart are both calling the elections a huge success with only a few human problems….

    1. I love it, when you get that many links to look at in a day
      Thats got to get through to the "sheeple" somehow
      John, when you get 50 links (one for each state), then I’ll know we’re cookin with gas, then
      ( or should I say, solar?)

    2. As usual OT, but you have to Check this out The headliner is
      "White House Linked to Mitch Wade Iran Group?"
      If its reported properly by the MSM, this could be the big one

    3. Yeah, Floridiot, I agree with Peg C … that article tells me my "suspicions" are on track.

      I feel that many of these types of contracts are money laundering where public money is making it into the coffers of the republican party for the election.

      Some dork doing "intelligence" is just another bu$hit lie to funnel tax money into coffers that increase the republican dictatorship that has taken over this country.

      Billions and trillions of dollars are being misdirected and the MSM and writers and every professional is becoming an "intelligence" operative. Give them "classified" info about 1902 ford trucks and then you got them.

      We ran across the embryonic appearances in the Oviedo Voice thread days. Many people in this net are unaware of where the money is coming from and who they are helping.

      The greatest crimes in the history of this nation are being perpetrated by the republican dictatorship.

    4. I also oneself something would want to find out on this theme. Very attentively I will read every post.
