2. There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the U.S. voting machine industry.

9. Diebold's new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of any votes. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by voters.

http://www.itworld.com/Tech/2987/041020evotestates/pfindex.html

http://www.diebold.com/solutions/default.htm
11. Diebold is based in Ohio.
http://www.diebold.com/aboutus/ataglance/default.htm
12. Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the votes in 30 states.

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/10/301469.shtml
13. Jeff Dean was Senior Vice-President of General Election Systems when it was bought by Diebold.

http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/10/26/loc_elexoh.html
16. California banned the use of Diebold machines because the security was so bad. Despite Diebold's claims that the audit logs could not be hacked, a chimpanzee was able to do it! (See the movie here: http://blackboxvoting.org/baxter/baxterVPR.mov.)
http://wired.com/news/evote/0,2645,63298,00.html
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4874190

Another Offering, two this time. A quote from Ken Babbs and a song from the zen tricksters again. Enjoy (PS, I was at the show in the link)
-- intro to Babbs Quote :
Last Saturday night before the Hunter Thompson maelstrom hit I did a gig in Eugene with the Zen Tricksters. It was a small place didn't even have a stage, we were right on the floor with the fans blowing air in our faces from their encouraging shouts and it was super duper. Here's what I did:
How does your expereience and the prankster outlook teach you to deal with the ever increasing crap that flows from our leaders I was asked and replied recognize it for the bullshit that will survive four more years in any unrecognizable form remembering rome fell but Italy remains so fly away fly away our national bird swoop down and pluck the patriot's hat. -Ken Babbs http://www.skypilotclub.com/woodzen.html

ARISE
Call it an urge-call it a change of scene The boy walks alone in the heat of the day A virgin dreams, A tenderfoot schemes The mountain is huge but it stands in the way
Call it his fate-call it a change of heart The boy tests his will on the face of the stone A climbers stance, a daredevil dance By leaving his mark he makes it his own
Chorus: Take heed my friend for the hour is at hand The top of the hourglass has run out of sand The waiting is over-the voice is clear AWAKEN, ARISE for someday is here Call it good will-call it a change of luck The boy stays alive by the seat of his pants The wings unfurl, the talons curl His guardian angel leaves nothing to chance
Call it a day-call it a change in wind The boy stands amazed at the foot of a cloud A taste of the prize, the light in his eyes His body is tired but his heart, it is proud --

"central compiler computer code" - They're just using big words to sensationalize and scare people. Just like "they" do with drugs.
What should happen is you should have your vote sent to your address so you can verify the veracity. That's just for starters, of course.
