Gore Vidal Savages Electronic Voting

gribbly writes "aging author and social critic Gore Vidal savaged electronic voting in an interview with the LA Weekly. The interview deals mainly with (what's wrong with) the Bush Administration, but halfway down he says: 'We don't want an election without a paper trail...all three owners of the companies who make these machines are donors to the Bush administration. Is this not corruption?'."

Re:How much press will it get, though?

[GMontag]

Most papers, radio shows, and TV outlets are conservative owned and operated. They might not appear to be so on the surface, after all it is what sells that they focus on. If people want liberal views that is what they are going to get, if they want conservative view they will get that also.

Excuse me AC, but Ted Turner is no conservative. Neither are the owners of the New York Times, the LA Times and many others. Rich does not mean Conservative.
