More Vote-Flipping in TX by Machines Other Than Those Made by ES&S
Direct Recording Electronic Voting Systems Made by Hart InterCivic and Diebold Also Reportedly Now Flipping Votes From Democratic to Republican in TX...

We've been reporting for the last week or so on the ES&S iVotronic touch-screen voting machines which are flipping votes from Democratic candidates to others in, so far, at least four states. We've showed you actual footage of it and how even after being "recalibrated" these machines still continue to flip votes.

Unfortunately, it's not just the error-prone, hackable, wholly unverifiable iVotronics from ES&S which are failing. Error-prone, hackable and wholly unverifiable Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) voting systems made by Hart InterCivic, Diebold and Sequoia Voting Systems are also having the same problems across the country. And the Democrats, who have the most to lose, continue to do nothing about it...

1. Howard Dean continues to say that Congress needs to get rid of black box voting. Maybe this time...

There is a lot of misinformation and conflicted loyalties, Steny Hoyer in particular, and Dianne Feinstein's bill bad, but we must find some technology that is easy for boards, but also transparent and observable. Second generation mechanical would be nice.

4. How about....

....we socialize the voting systems? As it stands now, the systems are all privately owned and operated. For a profit.

If you really like machines instead of humans counting votes, you really should be pushing for socialistic machines.

6. Difficult to undo local control and laws, but a US transparent sanctioned system good idea.

2. So stupid question time here. Why aren't the machines being locked

and paper ballots being brought in? Even with the time constraints something has to be done.

5. Because the Dems and Obama remain in denial...
