Electronic Voting Machines Issue Goes To Court
Democratic Party, State Officials Argue About Voting Machines
(AP) The Texas Democratic Party today argued that its lawsuit against the state over eSlate electronic voting equipment has merit and should proceed.

The dispute is being heard in federal court in Austin.

Lawyers for the Democrats contend the equipment, in some cases, doesn't properly record straight-party votes.

The suit also says the equipment doesn't collect and record votes the same as other systems in Texas -- and thus violates the U.S. Constitution.

But state attorneys want U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks to side with them and stop the case before it goes to trial.

Lawyers for the Texas Secretary of State's Office say no constitutional right has been shown to have been violated.

Sparks didn't immediately rule.

The eSlate equipment, made by Hart InterCivic, is used in scores of counties throughout Texas, including Harris, Travis, Tarrant, Nueces and El Paso counties.

The suit also says the equipment doesn't collect and record votes the same as other systems in Texas -- and thus violates the U.S. Constitution. But state attorneys want U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks to side with them and stop the case before it goes to trial.

Here we go, state attorneys trying to derail our rights. Every citizen, including lawyers, have a vested interest in keeping the integrity of the voting system in place. If there's something wrong with it, everyone should be interested in fixing it. But, oh no, if there's an agenda, that comes first! It takes a traitor to want to do otherwise.

Like I said before in another thread

The election results in 2008 will net a President and a Congress not elected by the people. These positions will be filled by the selected ones that will usher in the NAU by 2010. This is going to happen simply because our voting system has been corrupted and neither the people or our government care enough to correct it and preserve it. All of your hopes of getting rid of the illegal alien problems, the Iraqi war problems, inflation, abortion, etc--you can forget it because America has died already. Only a few of us remain with the patriotic determination to correct our corrupt government, but I'm afraid my freinds, we are outnumbered. Biblical prophecy would have to be wrong for us to win. God Bless America and God Bless those who sought to fight for her.
