Mr. Farber and Mr. Gillmor,
For IP, if you want.
Dennis Kucinich has outfoxed Diebold by putting some of some of the more
egregious Diebold memos up on his part of the House of Representative web
site, http://www.house.gov/kucinich/issues/voting.htm. Let's see Diebold
serve the House with a DMCA letter.
Kudos to all who kept the memos and the voting machine issue alive. It
seems to be picking up a little steam with the mainstream press. There was
a WP article earlier this week about problems with voting machines in the
last election in Fairfax county:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54432-2003Nov17.html
------
At-large School Board member Rita S. Thompson, who narrowly lost
reelection, said she is considering a challenge because of problems with
voting machines. Voters in three precincts said in interviews that when
they attempted to vote for her, the machines initially displayed an "x"
next to her name but then, after a few seconds, the "x" disappeared.
Thompson has asked that electoral board staff members test every machine to
determine the extent of such problems, and she said she is considering
filing a lawsuit to force them to do so.
County election officials tried one of the machines in question and
discovered that the glitch occurred about "one out of a hundred tries,"
Luca said. She added that she would take Thompson's request "under serious
consideration."
---------
Thanks,
Tim Bishop
