Daily Voting News For September 17, 2006
The fallout from the 'train wreck' in Maryland this week will not go away for awhile I'm afraid. There will surely be
more calls for firings, and there should be. Heads should definitely roll but will the real people who are responsible
be the ones to lose their jobs or will some underling suffer for the mistakes of their bosses? Will the state learn
anything or will they just have an investigation and blame the problems all on poll workers and the voters? They hired
the Election Center to do an investigation so there is no way Diebold will share any fault in this. Even the Washington
Post has taken to disinformation and obfuscation in their reporting this weekend....
