'Daily Voting News' For September 17, 2006 (Lots of Diebold news!)
Edited on Mon Sep-18-06 09:35 AM by helderheid
The fallout from the 'train wreck' in Maryland this week will not go away for awhile I'm afraid. There will surely be more calls for firings, and there should be. Heads should definitely roll but will the real people who are responsible be the ones to lose their jobs or will some underling suffer for the mistakes of their bosses? Will the state learn anything or will they just have an investigation and blame the problems all on poll workers and the voters? They hired the Election Center to do an investigation so there is no way Diebold will share any fault in this. Even the Washington Post has taken to disinformation and obfuscation in their reporting this weekend.

1. MD voting
I thought Maryland had already voted for a paper record of all ballots. And didn't the call for Linda whatever her name was to be replaced long before the voting mess. And wasn't she one of Ehrlich's choices to streamline things. Look what Ehrlich has cost this state. Republicans can't run anything.
