In the end, Voter Action agreed to drop its New Mexico lawsuit when the state stopped purchases of the machines and reverted to paper ballots that would be electronically scanned for results.
In the case above, dropping the lawsuit is the same as winning, as it achieved the same result- the absence of unreliable and easily manipulated electronic machine in New Mexico.
My hat is off to the good folks at Voter Action.
There's much more going on, Brad Blog is probably the best source for news on the grassroots fight against electronic machines- the preceding link points out the fact that the mainstream press just doesn't do it's homework-
Proving my point- a new voting story just now in...
But I'll give the media a break- it's an extremely busy news cycle.
More good news:
 Ms Plame says Mr Cheney and others took revenge on her |
It is an extraordinary development: the vice-president of the United States and a dozen other administration officials accused, in court, of deliberately leaking the identity of a classified CIA operative.
There's slim chances of winning this, but it had to be done-
the Bush Administration leaked valuable anti-terror intelligence
to the media- something that we need to remember when the
wingnuts start labelling the New York Times as 'treasonous'.
