Didn't say anything more in the teaser, don't know who is on....

It's the "Face-off" segment....

3. Dobbs asked good questions
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 06:18 PM by LiberalEsto
about what would happen in a very close race where a recopunt was needed.

The Maryland election board idiot, Linda Lamone, said a recount was needed in the last (and I quote) gubernatorial ERECTION! Anyway the recount was done in a couple of counties and everyone was satisfied. She did not say HOW it was done or whether these were paper ballots or e-votes. (note: my husband said it's done by running a "paper dump" of what's in the machine, afterward, but this doesn't show if there was tampering in between.)

What she didn't say: HOW the f*ck does she plan to do recounts this year with 16,000 electronic vooting machines and no paper trail.

She claims she won't use printers with the machines because the printers "haven't been approved by the Federal Government."


Oddly, Nevada is requiring paper trails on its e-machines.

I understand Ms. Lamone (unfortunately, a Democrat) got wined and dined very nicely on a Potomac River cruise paid for by Diebold prior to the state's decison to purchase their machines.

"I understand Ms. Lamone (unfortunately, a Democrat) got wined and diner very nicely on a Potomac river
cruise paid for by Diebold prior to the state's decison tp purchase their machines. "

*THAT'S* what needs to be broadcast! Some of the crooked shenanigans....

5. My husband
is active in TrueVote Maryland, and tells me that's the reason they suspect she's so defensive about the highly expensive voting equipment.

Bev Harris did a demo of hacking into an e-voting machine in DC today but I haven't seen any news stories on it. I know the media was notoified and C-span was supposed to run it today sometime.

6. I heard about the demo, that's why I posted this alert......
I had hopes.

It was disappointing.

I suspect your husband is on the right trail..... follow the money, indeed.
