In the Wharton Co situation votes for a GOP candidate were switched on the touchscreen to the Democratic candidate. In doing a little research I looked at machine malfunctions over the past year with regard to ES&#038;S Ivotronic DREs and chose <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votersunite.org\/electionproblems.asp?sort=date&#038;selectstate=PA&#038;selectvendor=ESS&#038;selectproblemtype=Machine+malfunction\">Pennsylvania<\/a> I was reminded that in Nov. 2006 there were reports from 12 counties that used Ivotronic machines of vote-switching and in every case the votes were from GOP to Democratic candidates. The inaccurate, unreliable voting systems sold to state and county election officials were sold simply due to the greed of the vendors. The machines need to be recalled sooner and not later and replaced by paper ballot supported voting systems&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Report \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Demos: A Fallible \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcFail-Safe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<br \/>\nAn analysis of provisional balloting problems in the 2006 election<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.demos.org\/pubs\/provisionalballot.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.demos.org\/pubs\/provisionalballot.pdf<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Barack Obama: Indiana Voter ID Law Unconstitutional<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allamericanpatriots.com\/48738002_barack_obama_barack_obama_indiana_voter_id_law_unconstitutional\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.allamericanpatriots.com\/48738002_barack_obama_barack_obama_indiana_voter_id_law_unconstitutional<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Voter ID Fraud Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Exist Says ACORN<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.townhall.com\/Columnists\/AmandaCarpenter\/2007\/11\/26\/voter_id_fraud_doesn%E2%80%99t_exist_says_acorn\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.townhall.com\/Columnists\/AmandaCarpenter\/2007\/11\/26\/voter_id_fraud_doesn%E2%80%99t_exist_says_acorn<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: &#8220;Transparent and Well-regulated Elections&#8221;: Part 1 on Language in a Free and Fair Elections Amendment<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_anthony__071126__22transparent_and_wel.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_anthony__071126__22transparent_and_wel.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: LegAlert: Universal Vote-by-Mail<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.progressivestates.org\/content\/272\/legalert\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.progressivestates.org\/content\/272\/legalert<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Los Angeles County \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editorial &#8211;
