OK - Which One Of You Has Been...
Using Diebold as an excuse to keep people from voting?

The reason I ask is because I read here that some people are really upset about all this. Yet, I haven't seen one single post from any serious DUer wanting anyone to not vote.

Is it just a misunderstanding? A simple misreading of people's intentions?

Are they trying too hard to read between the lines or something? How does alerting on diebold equate to trying to get people to not vote?

I think the intent of the diebold alerters is to get us so organized that the power diebold now has over our vote, is finally stripped from the corporations and returned to the people.

4. So, you believe
That some serious DUers are trying to get people to not vote?

So, you have a link to that post(s)? Tell me where to find 'em. I've been looking all over and haven't seen one yet.

3. It's sometimes amazing the assumptions people make. I learned
at a young age that whenever I said, "I read such-and-such," people assaulted me for "believing" something they didn't believe. Information automatically gets translated into judgments to some people.

5. Because people don't read entire posts.
They read "The election is rigged, why bother voting?" And post their disgust without reading the "We still need to vote rah rah etc etc etc".
