Yesterday, California pretty much threw those trashy-assed machines out of the state. Look what today brings...
After harshly chastising Diebold Election Systems for what it considered deceptive business practices, a California voting systems panel voted unanimously Thursday to recommend that the secretary of state decertify an electronic touch-screen voting machine manufactured by the company, making it likely that four California counties that recently purchased the machines will have to find other voting solutions for the November presidential election.The panel also voted to send the findings of its recent Diebold investigation to the state's attorney general for possible criminal and civil charges against the firm for violating state election laws.
Following a contentious six-hour hearing during which the Voting Systems and Procedures Panel grilled Diebold president Bob Urosevich about his company's business practices, the panel voted to recommend decertifying the Diebold AccuVote-TSx machine, which was used for the first time in California during the March primary in Kern, San Joaquin, Solano and San Diego counties.

How can we make this info more widely read? We need to get other states to do the same thing!

It's obvious that Bush is going to win this year thanks to:
1. Jeb in florida a la 2000
2. Diebold
3. Bogus polls
If we don't get very loud about this now, then we will get four years of Bush then eight years of Jeb.
