Re: Electronic voting machines
there's an article in the current Z magazine on this topic.

No answer offered by anybody so far. Is it the assumption that the Dems are brain-dead or is it that they are thought to be benefiting from the same glitch and colluding against voters? What in the world? Am I missing something here? Ralph

Try: http://www.blackboxvoting.com/ http://gregpalast.com/ http://www.markcrispinmiller.blogspot.com/ Michael Pollak PEN-L post, Sunday, September 14, 2003 7:16 PM Insecure code for electronic voting, Financial Times, Sep 12, 2003 Macdonald Stainsby (rad-green list) also has information on this. http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green Or just look under Diebold Machines American democracy is a total fraud right up to the finding that Americans cannot even tally the votes cast in elections correctly. Nevertheless, the American fraudsters want to tell the Cuban government that the Cubans need to be more democratic and aim to establish democracy in Iraq. But if you lie and defraud in your own country, in the name of Jesus Christ our saviour and so on, you can hardly expected to act in a principled manner anywhere else. J.

Re: Electronic voting machines
How would it be possible to have a recount with these machines? And what replaces party scrutineers? Or do they have them in the US. Are there are laws regulating the manufacturers of these machines. It seems that they are able to donate to political parties. That is an open invitation to fraud.. Cheers, Ken Hanly sorry about blank post.. - Original Message - From: Max B.
