Calif. Official Bans Some Voting Machines

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The state's top elections official called for a criminal investigation of Diebold Election Systems Inc. as he banned use of the company's newest model touchscreen voting machine, citing concerns about its security and reliability.

Friday's ban will force up to 2 million voters in four counties, including San Diego, to use paper ballots in November, marking their choices in ovals read by optical scanners.

Secretary of State Kevin Shelley asked the attorney general's office to investigate allegations of fraud, saying Diebold had lied to state officials. A spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer said prosecutors would review Shelley's claims.

1. We use paper ballots
here in Newton County AR, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Way to go, California! Does this mean that maybe Ohio will scrap the machines as well?

2. Bev Harris, you ARE MY HERO... You are a TRUE AMERICAN standing for what
IS right, and what IS just.

You, madame, are a genuine HERO.

Without you, this incredible success and upholding of truth and justice would NOT have happened. Take a bow, and tell MIKE I SAID HI and to FUKC OFF.

Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to slip that in.

THANK YOU BEV. You are MY HERO.

13. One of condiditons in counties still allowing T(ough)S(hit) voting:
they have to provide paper ballots too (IIRC).

So now, we all must get a campaign going to convince everyone in these counties to use the paper ballots.

Also, suggestion for post election campaign: point out how much the counties paid for the Touch Screens and ask people if it was worth the money when (say) 80% of voters chose to use paper ballots instead.

16. I'm so sure that there enough breaches in the contracts that the counties
could sue for damages if they wanted to.
