Maryland Votes To Ban Diebold Voting Machines

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-maybe-they'll-have-real-votes dept.

vandon writes "Computerworld.com reports: 'The state Maryland House of Delegates this week voted 137-0 to approve a bill prohibiting election officials from using AccuVote-TSx touch-screen systems in 2006 primary and general elections. The legislation calls for the state to lease paper-based optical-scan systems for this year's votes. State Delegate Anne Healey estimated the leasing cost at $12.5 million to $16 million for the two elections.'"

    OK, I'll go there then.

    Kerry got robbed, and America got robbed. The vote fraud in 2004 is the only reason we've got Shrubbie in the White House now.

    And Al Gore WON in 2000. We shouldn't have had this moron in the first place.
