BRAD BLOG: CA VOTERS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST USE OF DIEBOLD IN STATE!


CALIFORNIA VOTERS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST STATE'S USE, PURCHASE OF DIEBOLD VOTING SYSTEMS!

Sec. of State Bruce McPherson, 18 County Registrars Named as Defendants
Violations of State, Federal Laws Alleged, State Senator Releases Comment Condemning McPherson, Outlining Violations

As The BRAD BLOG broke yesterday, a lawsuit has today been filed in San Francisco Superior Court demanding that California Sec. of State Bruce McPherson follow state and federal law in regards to his recent re-certification of Diebold voting machines in the state.

McPherson is named, along with 18 California county registrars, as defendants in the suit which calls for a ban on the use and new purchase of Diebold voting systems. The suit was filed by VoterAction.org on behalf of 25 California voter/plaintiffs.

REMINDER: As California (or as Diebold refers to them, "America's largest voting market") goes, so goes the nation...This suit matters. Big time...

And remember that though California may look liberal and blue, it's really got all the ingredients of a red state:

- It destroyed mass transit to build freeways.
- It launched the tax revolt, which destroyed the state's schools, and allowed Ronald Reagan to take the national stage.
- It was the first state in the nation to try to deny services to illegal aliens. It also passed English-only laws and outlawed affirmative action.
- Yet the immigrants, who comprise up to 1/3 of the state, sided with their oppressors in order to put out that urgent crisis - gay marriage.

With a little help from Diebold, California can easily go Republican, and that will be the end of the once-proud but now-useless institution known as the Democratic Party.
