Voting Machines scare anybody with a brain.
last updated 2004-06-12 by kathy@truthisbetter.org

A fun irreverent look at the issue of electronic voting.

Diebold, a major player in state voting systems, still has machines that are wide open to election tampering, but it may be just the tip of the iceberg of possible ways to tamper with elections using electronic voting machines.

last updated 2004-05-31 by kathy@truthisbetter.org

Billionaires for Bush humorously details how the current campaign system works. See Campaign Money Watch for news of legislation written by big money lobbyists.

U.S. News Media Bias
last updated 2004-05-06 by kathy@truthisbetter.org

U.S. TV news media are the biggest benefactor of the current campaign system because candidates must buy TV ads to win elections. Therefore TV media in turn gives favorable coverage and makes large donations to the campaigns of politicians who vote against campaign finance reform, and FCC government policies have given a few large media corporations control over American media law. American news coverage is biased. and censored

last updated 2004-11-17 by wlswarts@earthlink.net

In legal theory, there is "tainted fruit" which prevents inadmissable evidence from being used. Applied to elections, any vote on a machine found to have a problem must cause ALL ballots on such machines to be considered void and a revote must take place. This is a call to action.
