IN IRELAND

...Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan said he was “glad to bring this sorry episode to a conclusion on behalf of the taxpayer”.

“From the outset, this project was ill-conceived and poorly delivered by my political predecessors and as a result it has cost the taxpayer €55 million...



...To help put those costs in perspective, 55 million Euro --- the cost of the systems to the state of Ireland to date --- is about $69.5 million.

In this country, the U.S. wasted almost $4 billion (with a "b&quot , via the Help American Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, on the very same type of worthless, unreliable, easily hacked machines that the Irish are smart enough to get rid of entirely...

1. Luck of the Irish didn't work out so well for me today, but it looks like Ireland is onto a streak!

Good!

2. America should get a refund

from those cheating, lying repig companies, with their proprietary software and easily hacked voting machines. (The machines can be programmed to vote, regardless of what the people's vote is.)

If there is no transparency, no possibility of material recounts, how is democracy served? It's not, it's corrupted. And the Bush/Chainsaw bastards pushed this on everyone in the wake of 9-11, when the nation was shell-shocked.

It needs to end.

5. man, I wish we were smart...

WE also need to get rid of any electronic tabulation of our votes. WE can count, by hand, in a very short time at most precincts.

They do it in Canada and England. Since when do we need electronic tabulation and voting?

8. And why do we need to know the results immediately?

7. Where does the Democratic Party Leadership stand on this issue ?

Over 92% of the American People support Transparent, Verifiable Elections.

Looks like an easy WIN/WIN for whoever decides to LEAD.

I had to go waaaaaay out on the Looney, Left Wing Fringe of the Party to find a Democrat willing to talk about this issue, and HE got "re-districted".

Why the SILENCE?
