well my goodness , as if one under-utilized blog wasn’t enough , now we have two .


in response to an article read at : http://freepress.org—“diebold , electronic voting and the vast right wing conspiracy” .


dated feb 24 , 2004 , dr. bob fitrakis delves into the sordid history of diebold and es&s two of the major players in the electronic voting machine industry responsible for machines involved in about 80% of the electronic voting that took place on nov 2nd.


well , well , well what a surprise that two of the major players in the industry seem to have major links to the christian religious right wingnuts .


in their religious zeal dating back to at least the reagan era the right wingnuts were secretly positioning themselves by buying into the electronic voting industry as well as big media and funding right wing think tanks—all for the puropse of moving american policy , both foreign and domestic , sharply to the right .


now it seems that well before this most recent election , diebold electronic voting software code was reported to have “stunning flaws” according to Johns Hopkins researchers at the Information Security Institute , and in previous elections , patches were installed on diebold voting machines without approval or supervision of independent testing authorities ,or election officials .

the name diebold now has above it a cloud of election irregularities and surprising , unexplained electoral upsets in contests where its machines have been used .


it should also be noted that the two brothers who started what became es&s have also been doing work for diebold in key positions .


it seems that a big push by the religious right did make monkeys of the exit pollers in this month’s presidential elections…its just that after reading bob fitrakis’ article , it appears that the big push began long ago during the reagan era and has now culminated in some very suspicious results that could trace back to the ‘programming’ of the voting machines .


diebold makes ATM machines along with other electronic machines , but according to the fitrakis article , the only diebold machines designed not to produce a paper trail receipt are the diebold voting machines… WHY ?


So finally , the question must be asked : was it a big “push” , or a big “putsch” from the religious right wingnuts that REALLY put george dubya bush in office for two terms ?

“Family values ” was supposed to be the key issue in this presidential election .


i thought “thou shalt not steal” elections , was an important ‘family value’ ?
