California Bans DieBold! Huge Setback for State's GOP!

Now that there's evidence DieBold is really CIA and the California Secretary of State is going to decertify the Schwarteneggar election, then what will happen?

Will voters go back to the polls with a paper ballot, or does Gray Davis become governor again?

Cheers for Shelley.

How does this constitute a "Huge Setback for State's GOP!"?

It doesn't have a damn thing to do with the GOP but you'll never convince the delusional of that.

It doesn't say anything about the CIA or decertifying any past elections, either. It sounds to me like the Republican Schwartzenegger administration is cleaning up a mess left by Gray Davis.

No, this isn't about the GOP (at least, not unless they are even more like their representative here, fishin, than I suspected). It's about the guarantee of a paper trail and the confidence of the electorate.

1) no receipt when one is easily possible.

2) No print-out for recounts if necessary.

That's a hell of a voting system where you have to accept the outcome because you claim the machine is 100 percent accurate.

It's amazing they were blatantly stupid enough to even try and set up such a system for probably the most sacred and traditional system we have going...the paper ballot.

Why paperless? It violates everthing that ever evolved about voting over the past 6,000 years, and we are just supposed to accept the accounting of the company responsible in an era where companies are up to their eyeballs in political agendas?

Thank God for California. At least those Americans have the insight to remember that we cannot trust corporations or government alike...and especially wherever the two meet up with each other...

Used to work for a place that had to challenge Diebold - we won. I don't like those guys.
