Optech is owned by a British company!
All voting in SD is counted by hand (paper ballots, yes, in 16 counties, I think), by ES and S and by Optech.

Optech is owned by a British company, De La Rue! Isn't that incredible!
Here's their website--

http://www.delarue.com

They are on the London Stock Exchange--share price about 5 pounds.
Over 183,000,000 shares outstanding.

SO a British company owns Optech, which runs voting machines (optical scanner) in many counties in South Dakota.

And you thought we got rid of the British in 1783?

The other corporate system is E S & S-- (punch cards, Ohio, Florida, New Mexico) and that company is partly owned by former Republican Senator Chuck Hegel. Private company.

Here's what we should do!

Paper ballots--vote count videotaped--post all ballots on web for examination. You can make it happen! (Impeach the voting machine companies!) Let's inaugurate Democrats in AZ, SD and all states, and have our OWN elections every 2 months!



My message is--elect Democrats every 2 months---

Here's how we can paint South Dakota Ultra-Blue! This will work for
any state in the USA--do this in your state- start an UDO group!

After the election, I decided to change things. I decided we needed to have our own elections-- 6 times a year!

Check out UDO!

Wanna OutBLUE people in a Red County? Check out my Yahoo Group--

Let's start a state wide UDO (Ultra Democratic organization)--

first elections December 2004!

(Anyone can join the Yahoo group)

Thanks!

Here's what we should do
