It now appears that
HAVA had less to do with helping the disabled voter and
more to do with helping to privatize the conduct of U.S. elections while at the same time increasing profit for a select few partisan voting systems venders.
HAVA provided a windfall of tax dollars to these select few
voting systems venders.

San Diego County Representatives:
A New Book Published March 2008 That Is Only Available Online Because The Facts Uncovered Are True But Unwanted !
The 2004 presidential election in Ohio, the state that decided the election, was rigged.
Richard Hayes Phillips,
Ph.D., began investigating the Ohio election when he received an unsolicited
e-mail containing obviously erroneous
election results from
Cleveland. He quicky found that hundreds of votes in certain precincts had inexplicably shifted from John Kerry to other presidential candidates. This made him a witness to a crime, with a duty to investigate further and
to present his findings publicly.
As spiritual progressives working to bring about needed change in our country, we must feel sure that our votes for change are counted, and counted accurately.

Tuesday, May 19, 2009 California Statewide Election to be conducted using flawed election systems !!
"Those who have ever had questions about the perils to U.S. democracy vis-a-vis the dangerous over-reliance on
private corporate vendors for the execution of our public
elections, should take note of the troubling truths spelled out in Diebold/Pemier's termination letters [to Humboldt county]."
It also seems clear that creating a "New Bottom Line" for our country will require a return to the transparent and open counting of votes by members of the public.
Nationwide, elections are managed at the county level. In San Diego, our Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in 2003 to spend $31 million on 10,200 Diebold machines. That was only an initial expense.
Our county Supervisors determine how elections are conducted and our State Senators and State Assembly members pass legislation that protects our votes. Our Secretary of State is responsible for testing and certifying election systems that can legally conduct the business of holding elections in our state. At the federal level, our Representatives and Senators are supposed to pass legislation that protects our votes, but they haven't done a very good job in the past.
If we want change, we need to know that our votes
"really count." To get there, we need to voice our concerns.
