Obviously The vendor controls your vote

This list of 29 items was also brought up in a press conference by US Rep. Cynthia McKinney, her first major press conference on electronic voting.
Cox referred to the item of the mysterious patch as "The application/implication of the 0808 patch."
"The state was seeking confirmation that the patch did not require that the system 'be recertified at national and state level' as well as 'verifiable analysis of overall impact of patch to the voting system,'" Rolling Stone Magazine reports.
But shouldn't they be seeking her confirmation and not the other way around?
Diebold's reply to Cox's letter, if one exists, has not been made publicly available, according to Rolling Stone.
"She [Cox] should be the one confirming it, not the vendor. She's the one responsible for running elections in Georgia," Favorito told Atlanta Progressive News.
"She appears to be trying to privatize the election system to the point where she's trying to ask the vendor to determine if they're in compliance, rather that using their own resources," within the Office of the Secretary of State, Favorito said.
"They claim [as an excuse] to have changed the operating system and not the tabulating software. We believe the law says the systems have to be re-certified with a patch of any kind. The State did not certify those patches. The State took Diebold's word," Favorito said.
"However, State Law does not seem to support Diebold's testimony," Favorito said.
Atlanta Progressive News will be looking more into how Diebold was, or was not, able to satisfy Cox's 2002 concerns.
"Atlanta Progressive News is the only media outlet in Georgia that's covering this story," Garland Favorito of VoterGA said.

Sometimer, I commend you on your kick on the voting puters. Yes, there is the possibility of hacking the puters, but without them you have hanging chads and other problems with manual machines. However, you and others are implying that our election was rigged and you are implying that the people of UC who set up the machines are dishonest...you are a fool. Like a republican friend of mine used to say, "I don't have time for fools." See ya!

I don't care if there is an investigation. However, an investigation based on the grounds that a very intelligent and astute observers got the percentage right and you imbeciles didn't get it is undue harassment. How does it feel to be wrong almost all the time?

:: .............80% of the voters.... This is the intelligent members of the republic rolling their eyes at you hairless monkeys.

[sometimeman]

I'm not a hairless monkey Ape. I don't believe Union County elections are fair. Prove to me that they are. Let me see the votes counted.

[bluemoon]

You people are just too funny! Because ONE person just happened to predict the outcome, you conclude the election was rigged.

ha ha ha ha ha I'm laughing my head off!

Unfortunately, that's what you do with everything. You take one little piece of information and blow it all out of proportion to the truth.

Of course, a few like-minded people will believe you, but the majority (80%) will know you for what you are.

[oscarwho]

Liemore , liemoon , there are volumes of your own records that contradict them selfs as well as state and federal laws . I know , I know , You say take me to court . In due time . In due time . Now you have a nice week end spending taxpayers money .

Foreclosures up 57%

Foreclosure filings nationwide soared 57% in January over the same month last year -- another indication that the nation's housing woes are deepening. A study released today shows 233,001 homes were affected, 8% more than in December. Of that total, 45,327 homes were lost to bank repossessions.

and we have to pay that extra 1% for just about everything we need in order to have the luxuries for the county that we don't need right now:(
Roads/bridges and public safety, fine... the rest is pork!

hunny told me last week that he heard all the permits had been approved. Also, that all the activity across the 4 lane from the site was the water/sewer being extended out there so it was accessible.

[queenbee]

So how do we find out for sure if it is coming?

Some reliable source has to know the facts.
