There are three breaking election reform stories here (or should we say election fraud stories). The last one is the one Einsteinia has been posting threads about for the past few weeks about alarming developments in CA. It becomes even more clear why they framed CA SOS Kevin Shelley, a true election rights hero, who was on Diebold like a bulldog, and replaced him with SOS McPherson, who is undoing Shelley's good work. Wonder who is behind that? Anyone care to take a guess?

A followup with additional details on our previous story pointing to the inexplicable results of last week's Ohio election where half the state added Electronic Voting machines for the first time. The result was a remarkable defeat of a 4 Initiative Election Reform package that polls in the days before the election showed was on its way to passage on several of the measures. The inexplicable results all looked something this:
ISSUE 3 (Revise campaign contribution limits)
PRE-POLLING: 61% Yes, 25% No, 14% Undecided
FINAL RESULT: 33% Yes, 66% No
