We just got back from the Diebold machines.

I wonder who the Diebold machines voted for us for?

1. Still programmed for Bush/Cheney

5. Very blue district in Metro Atlanta, Very heavy (for a mid-term) turnout. nt

3. Machines with no paper trail?

Bummer.

[onehandle]

6. First 100% electronic state in the union. On the first Diebold election, we turned solidly red...

...after over 120 years.

Funny, that.

[slackmaster]

8. Any system that doesn't produce a human-readable hardcopy that is kept physically secure...

...and verified by the voters, is totally unacceptable to me.

4. Not a single voting machine in my State

It is a State by State thing, you know.

7. Are you saying that all the votes will be counted by hand? What state? nm

[cascadiance]

9. Probably Oregon up in the Northwest, where it is completely vote by mail.

[rhett o rick]

14. Washington also has complete vote by mail. But I think machines are used to count the votes. Not

sure.

10. Do these machines give you a receipt? n/t

[onehandle]

12. No. nt

11. I've absorbed a lot of info on this and not all the machines are crooked we have a black man Preside

I have if not unshakable faith in them enough to get by. I think Alvin Greene genuinely won on pop star name recognition. All I read is a lack of machines changing the result in recent years but if really unsure volunteer at precincts it's not spectator those who stayed home are likely to see. I would early vote to be safer than sorry bt we got to take a leap of faith with machines if not. Dems and greens active at predicts are making sure machines are testedand thorough.

13. If Bush wins, then we'll know. n/t
