Overhaul Plan for Vote System Will Be Delayed

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate are slowing their drive to revamp the nation’s voting systems, aides said yesterday.

Under pressure from state and local officials, as well as from lobbyists for the disabled, House leaders now advocate putting off the most sweeping changes until 2012, four years later than planned.

Overhauling voting systems before next year’s presidential election had once been a top Democratic priority, primarily to allow greater accountability and be certain that all votes registered on computerized touch-screen systems were counted. But state and local elections officials told Congress they could not make the changes in time for the balloting in November 2008, particularly in light of the extra workload involved in preparing for next year’s much-earlier presidential primary season.

Rest here:

maybe they realized that unless they manage to curtail the internet FIRST, they won't be able to hide all of the maniuplations of the polling data as they were planning to.

if they dont have all their ducks in a row just yet, they *just may* give up on this year's elections, give it to Ron Paul, and do their best over the next 4 years (or however long it takes) to get their pieces in order.

now i'm playing the conspiracy theorist :)

something worth thinking about, anyways. thanks for posting this. it is definately relevant.
