CNN's Lou Dobbs: Voting Machines for Sale on E-Bay

Says Dobbs: 'Electronic Voting Machines Pose An Extraordinary Threat To Our Democracy…It looks like a complete nightmare'

Says Pilgrim: 'It's a bit of a mess. It's a lot of a mess…a bit out of control at this point'

Tonight Lou discussed the fact that Diebold voting machines and parts can be purchased on-line and at least one of those purchases has revealed a vulnerability in the Diebold TS-R6. The only response Diebold had was that there are only a few thousand of those machines being used as they are being replaced. Diebold obfuscates the truth; there are over 40,000 in use in Georgia and Maryland alone.Hat-tip to our friends at the Open Voting Foundation who not only purchased the machine at E-bay, but went on to use it to discover one of the "worst ever flaws found in a voting machine" (at least until the next one is found, anyway.)

November 7th, in many states voting will look like this.....

.....or this

I suspect in many places of this country, when the people, mostly poor and people of color discover that ONCE AGAIN they have been jerked by the Rethug voting establishment, I suspect that it might well look just like that picture Sooner.

What has happened in Mexico will be used as example, and i do fear violence if the Rethugs attemt the same old shit.

CNN's Lou Dobbs: An Electronic Voting Machine Debacle In Ohio's 2006 Primary Election

Scientific Report Commissioned by County says Numbers Don't Match Up: 'The current election system, if left unchanged, contains significant threats

'OH Sec. of State's Response: 'The machines work. There is nothing wrong with the machines.'



Tonight Lou revisits the world of electronic voting in Ohio, where the evidence points to voting machine problems, but the vendors, especially Diebold, and the state want everyone to believe that the poll and election workers are just too dumb to do the work and all of the problems are their fault. For more on this story see the recent BRAD BLOG article regarding the Cuyahoga County investigation.
