]Buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses and

aah yeah...

well the parts they didnt censor are pretty damn scary...so Im really worried about the parts they removed...

why again does this need to be censored, if they're going to spend tax payers money on something that is broken, why are we spending tax payers money to cover it up...

Highly redacted SAIC report on Diebold security

] Blackbox Voting.org is Bev Harris' site exposing the
] security vulnerabilities of the Diebold voting machines.
]
]
] As of 8:46 p.m. PST, the site has been pulled, with the
] following message:

only a matter of time, eh...

god this is some bullshit.

Daily Kos: Diebold feels the heat. Sends out attack lawyers

] Patriot Act II would give the government broad powers to
] seize documents and force testimony without a court
] order, expand use of the death penalty and make it harder
] to be released on bail. None of these tools are necessary
] to fight terrorism, and each threatens to infringe on the
] civil liberties of Americans.
]
] The most troubling part of the new plan is the call for
] expanding government access to private data, allowing
] federal agents to issue subpoenas for private medical,
] financial and other records, without a court order. The
] lack of judicial oversight removes an important check on
] government misconduct. Record holders would be required
] to comply, or face prison, and would be barred from
] telling anyone about the subpoena.

Patriot Act, Part II - Fucking Insane

] According to ACLU legal papers, local police, acting at
] the direction of the Secret Service, violated the rights
] of protesters in two ways: people expressing views
] critical of the government were moved further away from
] public officials while those with pro-government views
] were allowed to remain closer; or everyone expressing a
] view was herded into what is commonly known as a
] protest zone, leaving those who merely
] observe, but express no view, to remain closer.

Try the "best of" link... it's hilarious.

This web site is a government run web page that is dedicated to making you feel better about the US patriot act...

its already a law, so why do they feel so threatened by it?...perhaps its because they know it does not have real support in this country, and if its not overturned before 2005, most of its provisions will not be renewed...

I dont see why a branch of the government is spending out money to influence our political views, when I elect a democrat I do not expect them to have government paid PR compains targetted at their political oponents...so why am I getting this from our current administration...

DOJ spending your money to take your rights

so for those of you that went to speak to the georgia secretary of state about the georgia voting system...well the prof. at kennesaw doesn't do anything but make sure it complies with the law, he does no line by line checking of the code, he never looks at the code...

Lies, Damn Lies, and the Georgie voting system

] Activists have also questioned the political affiliations
] of the leading voting companies. Late last year, Harris
] found that Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, used
] to run the voting company that provided most of the
] voting machines in his state. And in August, the
] Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Walden O'Dell, the
] CEO of Diebold, is a major fundraiser for President Bush.
] In a letter to fellow Republicans, O'Dell said that he
] was "COMMITTED TO HELPING OHIO DELIVER ITS ELECTORAL
] VOTES TO THE PRESIDENT NEXT YEAR."
]
] But the problems Harris found in Diebold's system are
] perhaps the best proof yet that electronic voting systems
] aren't ready for prime time. Indeed, the vulnerabilities
] in the software, as well as the internal memos, raise
] questions about the legitimacy of the California recall
] election. In its ruling, the 9th Circuit Court put the
] election on hold until the six counties that currently
] use punch-card systems -- six counties that comprise 44
] percent of the state's voters -- upgrade their systems.
] On Monday, 11 judges on the 9th Circuit reheard the
] recall case; they may very well allow the election to go
] ahead on Oct. 7. If the recall vote is put on hold until
] March, however, many may wonder whether to trust the
] results: Four of the six punch-card counties -- including
] the largest, Los Angeles and San Diego -- have plans to
] upgrade to Diebold machines by March.

Very good article, with links to Diebold's internal memos, on the electronic voting systems.
