California Panel Recommends Dumping Diebold

sdw3u writes "Wired reports that a voting panel urged California officials to stop using a voting machine made by Diebold Election Systems, and recommends that the state consider filing civil and criminal charges against the company." There's also an AP story. We covered the hearing yesterday, with Diebold admitting that their machines had numerous problems.

    The bottom line is that the parties have given up on a fair and accurate voting system.

    They are both trying very hard to introduce backdoors into the process to give themselves an advantage in the election.

    At this time the republicans are in power and the voting machines are being made by companies with sympathies to the republican party.

    That's a problem if you are a democrat. It's great if you are a republican.

    when you say "standing up for christian beliefs", do you mean spewing bigotted, ignorant crap, or spreading the love of christ?

    Okay, you be black for a second. Imagine you have to go to the police station to vote.

    ummm, wouldn't I already *be* there!?

    Your entire post is without merit... whether or not someone votes on line makes no difference as to who is running. You are a fuck-tard.
