Ohio & Diebold's Political Machine

Diebold's Political Machine
Political insiders suggest Ohio could become as decisive this year as Florida was four years ago. Which is why the state's plan to use paperless touch-screen voting machines has so many up in arms.

1. Diebold

Does anyone know if much of the major media has picked up on the story of the president of Diebold promising to "deliver Ohio" to Bush? I heard it mentioned briefly on CNN the other day but other than that I have only heard it mentioned on the top 10 here at DU.

6. Yep
We have to start mobilizing.

Another good idea is to contact your Secy of State or whomever is in charge of implementing HAVA. Probably local Dem party people can help to find out whom to contact.
