In today’s “Featured†article, Voter Action had this to say in opposition to S.3212, “The United States Congress should be investigating, not financing, the private companies that have sold the DRE systems to states and counties throughout the country. With more than 3 billion dollars at stake, the American people have the right to know whether these companies knowingly marketed a defective product, as some evidence now reveals. If, in fact, any of these companies engaged in deceptive practices in accessing public funds, they should be held accountable and states and counties should get their money back. Just as Congress needed to apply scrutiny to Big Tobacco, it is time for Congress to investigate the elections industry.†We agree with Voter Action and call on Congress to defeat S.3212 and any other legislation that “funds and encourages the continued use of this faulty voting equipment .

It angers me to no end that you continually post DVN and yet get barely any feedback at all.
And I don’t even agree with you all the time.
Thanks Phil. I appreciate you taking the time to make a comment. I think maybe the fact that I have been moved to a different position on the page and my font is smaller that people just don’t see me as much any longer.
That’s it John, I keep forgetting you are over here.
You need to be back over there
