Diebold Strikes Again - 43% of newly registered LA voters stricken from rolls

To date 43% of newly registered Angelinos (26% of California voters, statewide), have been deemed ineligible.

California tasked Diebold with overseeing the creation of a single voter-registration database for all of California, as required by the 2002 HAVA (Help America Vote Act). Diebold software compares the voter database to the DMV database. If there is any discrepancy - ie, a voter registers to vote as Jane Doe but is in the DMV system as Jane Z Doe, she is defined as ineligible. Such voters are not notified of their "ineligible" status and do not receive information about polling locations or candidates.

Note: HAVA requires all states to create a single voter database.

This situation directly effects the Francine Busby's primary contest. The LA Times says:

San Diego County is racing to rectify rejected registrations in time for the April 11 special election to fill the seat vacated by convicted Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

It is up to US to save it...if that is still possible. The Democratic Party, by and large, has been unwilling to take up the daunting task.

greed,graft in fed government is too far gone. Russ Feingold is lone wolf productions-he can't do it alone.

Uncompromising anti-corruption plank, no corp money, no corporate revolving door.
