Another Friendly Reminder for Why Voting Machines MUST GO
California Sec. of State Barbara Bowen has released a 13-page report from an investigation into accusations that the private voting systems company Diebold manipulated digital outcomes for voting tallie. Deibold changed its name from Premier GEMS after the first round of accusation a few years back. Their stupidity makes me dizzy. Anyhow, the accusations are true. What a shocker!
The report is a pdf.
This issue is of insurmountable importance to us. If voting is one of the only ways we can express our right to representation and be enfranchised citizens of this country, and these expensive privately-created voting machines, which are beyond non-transparent, just discard our votes like used-up tissues, how in hell's name are we going to claim our fair share of power? For shizz, like 72314784 techniciens from Princeton have already proved that these hunks of trash can be hacked, and hacked them on TELEVISION!
We need to convert each one of those voting machines into a Prius. Or just destroy them. Where I vote we don't use them electronic voting thieves. Beside the downright voting thievery from the two Bush terms that ultimately stole much much more from us than some pieces of paper, these voting machines cost a fortune.
Please, send us to college instead.
