Is there ANYTHING that can be done about PA Diebold machines?
Advertisements [?]
I wondered when McCain started homesteading in PA while pundits, looking at the polls, suggested more probable ways for him to get the 270.

I worried as McCain began to express what one pundit called an "almost mystical" certainty he would win PA and the election.

I began to feel ill when I learned of PA's no early voting policy, no recount trail.

Today on a newscast I learned how easy it is to progam the Diebold machines to switch 10%, or any %, of votes from one candidate to another -- undetectably.

I remember 2000 -- the independent exit polling company pulled out at the 11th hour -- then after FL was called for Gore, Bush told Gore that Bush's brother Jeb had assured Bush of FL -- Bush spoke on TV with that same "mystical" confidence McCain has now -- and I knew then something was very, very wrong.

Again, I feel that something is very, very wrong. Is there ANY way we can prevent an impending "fix" of the Diebold machines?
