Slimy Republicans want more of their electronic voting machines in CA...

[Zinfandel]

The Republican slime needs to oust another democrat voted in by the people...

Just as the REPUBLICANS did to get Democrat Gray Davis out of office with the Enron created "black-outs"-- The Republican financed recall was created to get their celebrity star republican Musclehead (Arnold) to replace democrat Davis as Governor.

Now they need to get a republican as Secretary of State They are going about it the same way... when they CAN'T do it with the voters. They do it with scandal...Are they are behind these "scandals"--FUCK YES!!!!

You know how this works with these republican slime...Once they get a republican in as Secretary of State, in comes the electronic voting machines and republicans magically start winning elections in democratic areas (and finally take over the state)...While the republican Secretary of State oversees the elections and as always. sees no FRAUD!!!

California Secratary of State, Democrat Kevin Shelley has been an outspoken critic of electronic voting systems that have been sold and entrusted to California voters for their elections. These systems have been tested by computer scientists and are said to be lacking in the most basic security standards, leaving an open window for vote manipulation. Shelley has been standing up to the E-voting manufacturers and demanding accountability and reliability of the machines California has purchased, decertifying Diebold equipment in all counties using one type of their touchscreen system.

Could it be, that Shelley is paying the political price for having integrity in his public service? He has come under such a multitude of attacks in the last few weeks, ranging from sexual harassment to laundered campaign donations, it seems a little strange that all this dirt is turning up - one after another. When stories like this come out - somebody has to go digging for it and for a reason. I don't know if the allegations are true or not, but one thing seems apparent, that someone is going after Shelley - but who and why?

1. ANYBODY who does not support THE PARTY and DER FUHRER

WILL be targeted.

We are only different in that OUR Kinder and Gentler Nazis do not use violence (yet) to target the opposition.

Oh, and also currently, BushPutinism is not targeting the Little People (a big YET on that one) but only people with power or a megaphone to be heard.

Soon, though, my fellow Juden.

(and we are ALL Juden to our Kinder and Gentler, non-racist, at least overtly, Nazi Busheviks)

2. Please tell those DUer's who attack Shelley to SHUT UP and...

I Do NOT give a DAMN what Shelley has done! Shelley can do NO wrong in my view!!!

3. Nobody on this DU forum gives a shit about California.

Just gosip!

4. Shelley should simply request a paper trail w/ the electronic machines

It's simple, when you vote, the computer prints out a ballot for you. You look at it, make sure it's correct, fold it, and put it in the ballot box. If any candidate requests a paper recount, the paper ballots will over-ride the machines.

5. Republicans are putting a lot of pressure on him to resign...

He can't do jack shit right now! They want their Republican puppet in as Sec. of State!

8. He needs to fight back then

In other words, he needs to tell the Republicans to go fuck themselves and that he will be finishing the job that he was elected to do. Hell he should call the Republicans girly-men, apparently California thinks that's hillarious.

6. yep...'pukes want to run wild

remember, these thugs will stop at NOTHING to gain power and further their aims.

I have no doubt that the "news" of these "scandals" involving Shelley is suspiciously timed, coming after he started going after Diebold et al.

Can Shelley be forced out???

Idiot CA voters' fascination with their washed-up movie idol and Petey Wilson/Kenny Boy confidant is turning out to have endless negative repercussions: now Boobengrabber is going after state employees' pensions, CA teachers, and on and on...what a nightmare for any intelligent, informed person who sees through the publicity and BS that Ahnuld ran on.

10. Republican Guv Arnold will appoint a Republican if they can force

Democrat Shelley to resign!

7. why isn't this...

in Election Reform Advocacy and Action??

9. The Republicans are going about this very slick....

They know they can't have another recall it's too obvious...

Republicans have huge wallets unlimited amounts of money...if they can get California's Sec. of State office, they can steal elections in CA...CA is a thorn to the republicans, far too liberal...and far too many environmental restrictions for the pig corporations...plus CA starts liberal idea's like the Medical pot and it starts to spread to neighboring states...

Just as they had bucks and secretly to underhandedly smear Clinton they are doing the same with Shelley...think about it with a republican Gov and republican Sec of State they can get electronic voting machines in California and control the state as they did in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio and now California!
