FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

[breadandwine]

53. Aw shuckers! Them one-armed-bandit voting machines are as good as any crap table in Vegas!

We need to help the ELECTORALLY HANDICAPPED. You know, goopers who can't win elections the fair way. We need term limits to get rid of unnecessarily successful Dermacrits! And electronic voting machines need to be installed EVERYWHERE! With all them electrons zippin' around ain't no way to check up on who really got yer vote! Voting while Democrat is ILLEGAL in this country. Dang!

[deminks]

2. K&R # 5.

I regret that I can only recommend this thread once.

From the OP:

Diebold “regularly manipulated earnings to meet forecasts,”

(end snip)

That ain't all they manipulated.

[peacetalksforall]

3. Paper, please. Not plastic Not electronic. Designed and operated by Republicans.

The tool that gave us death, theft, lies, personal losses including homes, jobs, education, insurance, health care.

The greatest theives in the decades of existence of this country was facilitated by Diebold and now it is going to a right leaning country that always goes along with deportations, torture, invasion, regime changes, barbarism with the US and UK.

37. I want to see them rog marched...them and SCOTUS of 2001...the only way repukes

could ever have gained any power anywhere.

may they all rot in hell together one day.

I saw Ken Blackwell on Tweedy tonight....Tweety make me sick for giving this and other repuke slimeballs any face time at all, but especially, when the fucker Tweedy is trash talking President Obama about the Specter and Sesak offer.

[OnyxCollie]

4. K&R. nt

[JuniperLea]

5. To the rest of the world, this is breaking news...

To Brad, this is an expected end to a meandering road.

Love it!

K&R!

[BradBlog]

6. Smartly writ, Juniper... (nt)

[Left Coast2020]

36. Your Pulitzer Prize is waiting for you.

Awsome job dude!!!

:applause: :woohoo: :applause:

Someone needs to get this on MSNBC and make it a national story!! Rachel? Keith? Dylan?

[valerief]

57. Hell, Brad needs his own show!!!! nt

[tomm2thumbs]

7. good - enforcing these kinds of things will do more to raise money for govt programs than taxes

imagine if they really pursued half of what industry is doing in violating regulations and taking advantage of Americans

[marions ghost]

41. yes the tip of the iceberg

it's good, but much more remains to be done to even begin to clean up the corruption...

[L. Coyote]

9. Meanwhile, DoJ ignores election fraud evidence of any sort!

This is a snooze.
The SEC protects rich investors in rich businesses!! What else is news? :rofl:

[bertman]

30. As much as I hate to say it, L. Coyote, you are absolutely right. nt

[femrap]

50. And now we

have to worry about Dominion Voting creeping into the corners of our country.:wtf:

So Wally gives back $470,000 and walks free while his underlings get thrown under the bus. I wonder where he's working now.

WASF.

[judesedit]

10. Woohoo! Stop stolen elections NOW! Say "NO MORE" to this white corporate OWNED America

Thank you, Brad! You've been fighting for this a long time, along with BlackBoxVoting. You haven't given up and it is finally going to be prosecuted. We've known for along time, that the software was manipulated to switch the votes from Kerry to Bush. And for many other stolen seats. The perpetrators have already testified to the fact and the information is readily available to anyone interested. Now if only the main stream media would have the guts to expose Diebold and ES&S Sequoia for what they really are. Go bradblog.com! We're almost there.

[No Elephants]

11. Kudos to Bradblog!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

12. I'm shocked

shocked I tell ya'.

[DesertDiamond]

13. I like this but it doesn't solve the problem.

[Stevepol]

14. Glory Hallelujah. We win another battle!

[alp227]

15. Good, but I wonder when Diebold will be prosecuted for election fraud.

Diebold should be punished for any criminal acts that it committed. This is a good start.

[vanboggie]

40. Agreed

Electronic voting as owned and manipulated by the Bush era Rethugs is still sitting there waiting to steal yet another election. Congress and the Justice Dept. should have acted on the crimes of 2000 and 2004 long, long ago. These easily reprogrammed cheat machines are just another Bush-like disaster waiting to happen. Personally, I don't think we can survive another theft by those thugs.

[CLANG]

16. Sweet.

[jotsy]

17. Yowsa Yowsa Yowsa.

Way to boogie, bud!

Front and center, right where all your work belongs!

That's kickin'

[pleah]

18. K&R

[Shining Jack]

19. K&R

Now excuse me while I'm not holding my breath waiting for any real investigation being made about this.

[lobodons]

20. Fox news should be all over this

They seem to be concerned about election fraud. Perhaps if the SEC dressed up as Pimps it may get coverage??

[crim son]

28. +1 n/t

[SmileyRose]

21. Wait, the awful devil worshipping SOCIALIST Canadians count the votes in Georgia?

Snicker.

[Canuckistanian]

34. They could do worse

And often DO.

[goclark]

22. Yes!

[lonestarnot]

23. Far fucking out!

:woohoo: :bounce: :party: :bounce: woodamnwhooooooooooo! :applause:

[JNelson6563]

24. Now that's a big bowl of Awesomeness!

:toast:

[proud patriot]

25. thanks Brad

[HCE SuiGeneris]

29. ditto

:kick:

[demwing]

47. HCE SuiGeneris - question on your Sig image

Is that a reversed silhouette of the famous photo of the South Vietnamese police chief, reworked with a gas pump?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

59. Yes, it is exactly that.

[tabatha]

27. So glad there is a Brad Blog.

Keep digging the dirt, very few others will.

[bertman]

31. Thanks for your efforts, Brad. I wish our elected officials weren't so corrupt and that

they would pay attention to your work.

Rec.

[rhett o rick]

32. K & R and glad for good news. nm

[David Zephyr]

33. Oh happy day.

Nice.

[Melissa G]

35. Thanks, Brad!

25 million may just be a slap on the wrist for these people who have stolen so much.
Thanks to Brad the SEC got them for insider trading. I wish we could put them away for the high crime of election theft.

Bradblog ROCKS and so does Brad! :yourock:

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

38. oh the smell of freshly sued Diebold

invigorating.

[Cleita]

39. When will we be able to say good-by for good to those cheating

machines. Paper and pencil, hand counted. It's the only way to go.

[Ichingcarpenter]

42. Thanks Brad for this and all the work you do

I hope they look into the death of that executive airplane crash in Venezuela that we looked at a while back

[indimuse]

43. Finally( big smile)

knr!

[Enthusiast]

44. I won't be satisfied until

there are NO Diebold voting machines.

[Dappleganger]

45. This puts the sugar in my coffee this morning!

A tiny sense of justice to help start the day off right.

:applause:

[jotsy]

48. From what I've heard of you

sugar pales in comparison and so deserve a hand as well.

:applause:

[Scuba]

46. But the real problem is NOT fixed....

Last fall, ES&S quietly purchased Diebold, giving them 80% of market for electronic voting machings. And it's not just the un-auditable vote-counting; they now also own polling place check-in software (electronic pollbooks), voter registration software and vote-by-mail authentication software.

http://www.benalexandra.com/cool_stuff/diebold_ess.htm

This link has very scary information, all with appropriate citations, regarding what could easily be a mass-manipulation of our elections.

They've already been caught registering voters who thought they were just signing petitions. Getting total registered voter numbers higher gives them more room to fudge numbers.

When you buy a pack of gum, you get a receipt. Why is there no receipt/audit trail on our votes? I can only think of one reason.

[ronnie624]

64. Excellent reading. Very informative and handy. Thanks for posting. n/t

[NoSheep]

49. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ellipsis]

51. Thanks BRAD. n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

52. WTG, Brad!

Yee Haw! :thumbsup: :bounce:

[DirtyDawg]

54. Damn, could it be?...

...do you suppose that the SEC has enough on these guys that one or more will offer to 'come clean' about Diebold's role in vote rigging - starting with Georgia's '02 Senate and Governor's race - and carrying on through to the '04 vote in Ohio? That would be sweet. To have the rats start to turn on each other once the 'cheese gets binding' or the hush money runs out.

[bleever]

55. So who will have dominion over our elections now?

Oh, wait...the answer's in the question.

Great work, Brad!

:toast:

[Doctor_J]

56. SEC is the government. Can't they just shut them down

instead of taking them to court?

[Billmelater]

58. The Dominion is coming!

Brad, you are grasping at straws a bit. There is really no insidiousness involved with the name "Dominion" It has a long association with the country of Canada, as in "The Dominion of Canada" (ie colony of Britian) which used to appear on our banknotes and other officialeze. TD is now a player in the American banking sector, T stands for Toronto, guess what the D stands for!?

Why is everyone so excited? Diebold are under investigation for financial fraud, while election fraud is still ongoing and now status quo. How many machines will be in use come November, wherein your prezident becomes a duck (lame).

[Vickers]

65. "your prezident"

:wtf:

Welcome to DU!!! Enjoy your stay!!!

:hi:

[coffeenap]

60. GO YOU!!!

:toast:

[ailsagirl]

62. FANTASTIC!!

Diebold before :evilgrin:
Diebold after :evilfrown:

:hippie: :party: :toast: :bounce: :applause:

Of course the deed has been done and it can't change
the bushwhacking our country suffered because of junior's
tenure in the WH, :puke: but it may curb future machinations
by financially-motivated crooks.

(or is that redundant?)

[Zorra]

63. Brad, thank you so very much for the great work you do.
