3. Here's what makes me glad: "For months, election activists...
...in Kansas City and around the nation, have criticized the company, claiming its election software could be corrupted and votes altered, either by outsiders or by election workers and candidates."

I know it's hard. I know there is much corruption and collusion around the electronic voting boondoggle, and it's dispiriting to lose such a campaign. But our movement is YOUNG, and is facing entrenched forces of the most criminal kind, able to blackmail people, scare them, bribe them, and even kill them. The corporate forces behind the Bush Cartel and war profiteers will stop at nothing to get this wholly fradulent election system in place. It may take years to reverse this. Ordinary people are just learning about it--people whose lives have been, or are going to be, ruined by this Cartel--with sons and daughters killed or maimed in the Middle East, with bankruptcy, with loss of employment, with destroyed infrastructure and schools, and a trillion dollar federal deficit.

I am so heartened by Kansas election reform activists. You are the early warners. You are the Paul Reveres. And some day people will bless you for your work.

Some day, when someone writes "What's the Matter with Kansas?, Part II", the answer will be: Diebold.


---------------------

Is this article correct? How can "all four board members" have voted for it, yet one of them, Joe Serrano, asks (in the article), "What will happen if we buy this system and there are problems?"

I hope Kansas--and these board members--get their asses sued for malfeasance and election fraud, that's what.
