A CA REGISTRAR SPEAKS OUT ON BUSBY/BILBRAY, SD Paper Blows It, Dobbs Video

Edited on Fri Jun-30-06 03:25 PM by BradBlog

With more to come, even over the holiday weekend, we now have a California county registrar willing to speak out -- on the record -- about the issues in contention in the Busby/Bilbray election mess as they affect the entire nation. As well, the San Diego Union-Tribune gets the story entirely wrong (not that they apparently even bothered to try and get it right), and the video from my appearance on CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight last night is now posted. -- Brad

Yolo County, CA Registrar on Voting Machine Sleepovers: 'If E-Voting Systems can't be secured, perhaps they ought not be used at all. Period.'
Registrar Freddie Oakley Speaks Out on the Busby/Bilbray Controversy and the Crisis Concerning Deployment of Hackable Electronic Voting Systems�

Yolo County, CA Registrar of Voters, Freddie Oakley speaks out (in contradiction to SD County Registrar Mikel Haas) quite clearly about the concerns of sending voting machines home with poll workers prior to elections as revealed by the Busby/Bilbray election fiasco:

"As an election official, I understand the practical issues involved here perfectly. I am strongly of the opinion that it is exactly this kind of practical issue that should give election officials serious reservations about deploying electronic voting machines," Oakley wrote.

"If, as a practical matter, can't be secured, then perhaps they ought not be used at all. Period. Until the impediment can be removed," her email statement read...

7. you did a great job, Brad

Whatever our issues with Lou Dobbs, we all owe him a debt of gratitude for keeping the focus on this issue, and for using people like Brad instead of the usual corporate clueless idiot who is thrilled with the "ease" of e-voting.

10. Thanks...

I agree with your thoughts. Not the part about me, or them putting me on, but rather, Dobbs needs to be supported here. Here's 100% on the money with his general take on what's going on here as "Democracy at Risk" and/or "Democracy for Sale"

I hope you guys are sending him thank you notes for that!
