Cafferty read e-voting letters on CNN Situation Room
Did anyone see if there was more on the issue (lawsuits) earlier in the show? Dobbs is supposed to cover the Sequoia story again today (show's on now). Watch CNN.

The subject wasn't covered until the final few minutes of the show. I'll be interested in hearing what Dobbs has to say. :hi:

4. 5/6 Cafferty transcripts!
There is alot of scrolling to do, he asks the question in mid
transcripts, and then the answer is (quite lengthy) at the end of the
transcripts. Because of DU rules, I can't post it all here


JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR:

Electronic voting machines are under attack. No surprise given the controversy over the outcomes of the last two presidential elections. And now, as the primary season begins to heat up -- in fact, voters are going to the polls in eight states tomorrow -- lawsuits have been filed in six states to block the purchase or use of these computerized electronic machines.

The arguments against the machines include these: they're vulnerable to software tampering, they don't keep an easily recountable printed record, and they may miscount, switch or not record votes at all. Other than that, they're great.

Defenders of these machines say that most of the problems occur because of hasty setup or poor training of poll workers. What's the message there, that it's OK as long as it's one of those two reasons?

3. oh no!
Now we have to start watching CNN/Mainstream media as homework each day!
Well, this really is exciting, like things are changing!

But now I have to watch a whole bunch of CNN -

Wait wait - Fox news will have to find something to say -
lets see, how can they try to swift boat this?

I don't think they will be able to.

This has legs now....
