Sure, let us just stop voting and let corp.america just pick for us.
We cannot trust their technology & we cannot independently check
it. All of this due to the pain of counting chads in a close race???

No wonder Bush will win a third term.

Cook County Don't Need No Stinking Voting Machines
by Stating March 20, 2008 7:35 PM PDT
Chicago's Cook County managed to run crooked elections for decades just by using manual voting systems. Why should we pay for expensive hacked electronic voting machines when the old manual systems do the job? Seems like pork to me.

Independent???

[i]The external review, the company said, would be conducted by independent parties...[/i]

Sorry, but if THEY are hiring the companies to perform the review, it's already a conflict of interest.

Who Sequoia wants to audit their systems

Check out who Sequoia Voting Systems chose for an external audit - as opposed to Princeton, whom they've threatened to sue (below). This is better than the 22 yr old getting the $300 Million Pentagon contract to be the top ammunition supplier to Afghanistan, with WWII era weaponry!

EXCERPT: "But, as if the constant predilections of Sequoia VPs Michelle Shafer and Edwin Smith to slap "kick me" signs on their own backs wasn't enough, they then went on to release another statement last Thursday announcing they were commissioning their own "external review" of their own voting systems "that includes review by an independent company," which nobody has ever heard of. So who is this "Kwaidan Consulting of Houston, Texas," whom the geniuses at Sequoia have selected to carry out their independent, third-party review? You're not gonna be believe this one... Kwaidan appears to be little more than one guy by the name of Mike Gibbons, whose MySpace page, until last week (cached version here), boasted of wanting most to meet "A well endowed blonde nymphomaniac (half my age or take the difference of her bustline and waistline added to her current age) that likes to be under the influence of Jim Beam whiskey in a dimly lit room at least 3 times a week."
