My letter to Tom Zeller at NYT, he had an article today in tech.
The media including you are missing the story completely on election fraud. It has been quiet evident since 2000 that things are not right with elections in this country. Zeller’s article did not research the evidence but dismissed the bloggers based on others OPINIONS. Real journalists do the leg work. There are too many odd happenings to let this go without a thorough investigation. First, overwhelmingly, the glitches always favor republicans. The private corporations, who benefit most from republican policies, that own the voting machines in this country are owned by republicans. These voting machine companies contribute huge amounts of money to republicans and lobbied and won against the people’s wishes that these machines leave some paper trail as a way for a valid recount. These machines are illegal but the republicans will not let the people get justice. They are illegal because they can not offer a legitimate recount which every candidate is entitled to. Exit polls were never wrong in this country until we started voting on these black hole machines. We must stop the privatization of counting our votes. These companies claim proprietary rights when anyone tries to scrutinize the machines. There are too many secrets involving the machines. And, the owner of Dibold, Mr. Dell, once said that he intended to deliver Ohio to George Bush.
We will not go away quietly.
Please forward this e-mail to Mr. Tom Zeller, Jr. He should do some more digging and stop towing the gov. official line. Serve the people on this issue so you will sleep better at night.

1. A series of sound points...

I read the article and thought the same things.

Perhaps you can reword it and send a LTTE?

3. It may help to mention some specific screw ups that show where the

technology failed - such as were the machine reached its limit and started counting backward, the Indiana machines that counted straight ticket Dem votes as Libertarian votes, etc.

I don't think these people know about as many of the screw ups as we do. That is ridiculous considering it is there job but I still think it is true.

4. Take a look at the articles he's been writing since September.
The man is pro-electronic voting. Every article has said positive things about computers or electronic voting. I suspect he either has stock in them or he's Republican and voted for Bush.
