Right To Vote Accurately And Securely
Are you voting with touch-screens this fall? There continues to be ongoing discussion about the Diebold Election System. Writer Bev Harris over at blackboxvoting has been telling us all for some time to take note of these issues--to the point where I hear that Diebold's legal representatives wanted her to shut down her site and to stop pointing to sites that contained material describing past security issues with Diebold's software. Have the folks at Diebold now assured us that there are no problems? Well, no. So why is Maryland okaying the use of the machines this fall when it also says the system has some problems? Are we using these machines in California for the Recall election? Is your state having an election soon? It would be wise for you to find out the voting methods your state or district plans to use.
