This is the result of the sham "voting reform act of 2002", HAVA:

IMO, the deadline requirements for local purchasing of new E-Vote machines were intended to block competition of "start-ups" who may have responded, given enough time, by designing and manufacturing voting systems that could easily compete with, and wrest contracts from Diebold and Sequoia....

Instead....the following is typical, it will still be the same around the country in November, I fear....and when the polls close, the same thugs who control the federal government today, will control it....exit poll results....be damned!

Elphaba...how the *uck could the voting machines of both principle manufacturers be so *ucked up in mid-2006. This isn't rocket science. It almost has to be this way, by intent....

If I'm right, what's the back up plan? I've talked about it before.....do some of us pick straws daily....to see whose turn it is to throw themselves under the wheels of Dick Cheney's limo...everytime it leaves his residence or office, until the streets are so caked with blood and guts that he and Bush "get the message"....or select less obvious vehicles to transport themselves in ?

Ohio did not use modern electronic voting machines in this election. Six counties use an older form of electronic voting, which has a means of verifying the accuracy of the vote. In 69 Ohio Counties, punch card ballots were used.
