America BEWARE!!! The "FIX" is already in! In another attempt to rig the Presidential-election, Republicans have pushed fro "electronic-touch-screen" voting systems throughout America. The problem with them is there is no "Paper-trail" of voting records, and they are ALL easy to "hack". A group of independaent computer-scientists,(see : verifiedvoting.org), numbering more than 1600; have signed the "Resolution On Electronic Voting". These experts from major universities, and systems managers collectively have more than 200 P.H.D.s; and express well-founded concerns for the viability & safety of "Touch-screen" voting. Add to this, two of the largest manufacturers of these machines have CLOSE ties to the Republican party. One of the largest makers of voting machines is "E.S.&S." (Formerly A.I.S.; whose C.E.O. coincidentally was now-Nebraska-Republican Senator Charles Hagel). Of the remaining three manufacturers, the largest is DIEBOLD... Whose chairman & C.E.O. Walden O'Dell ia a Bush "Pioneer"; having raised more than $100,000 for Bush. Diebold, in 2001-2002, gave more than $100,000 in "soft-money" to the Republican National Comittee. The security of these machines is "questionable" at VERY BEST, and their links to the Republican party is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS as well. A Diebold engineer named Ken Clark, freely admitted that someone could gain-access to the "central server" through Microsoft Access, make changes; and erase their tracks from the audit-log. As any detective knows; when a crime is comitted, FOLLOW THE MONEY-TRAIL.... It seems that the "money-trail" leads right back to the White House. The trail of deceit in an electronic election "leaves no trace". Dave
