I just received a forwarded email from VelvetRevolution.us alleging various violations in the recent Busby-Bilbray vote to succeed Randy "Duke" Cunningham and calling for a hand re-count.
Sorry if I just completely missed this story, but this seems huge if I didn't.
This is from the email:
"[E]very voting machine used in the June 6th special election run-off for the U.S. House seat vacated by the disgraced Randy "Duke" Cunningham in California's 50th congressional district has now been shown to have been effectively illegal -- by federal standards, rules and provisions and by California state rules, laws and provisions. And now, by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters own admission.
If you haven't been following the story, the election was run on highly hackable Diebold voting machines that were sent home overnight and unsecurely with poll workers for days and weeks prior to the election. That outrageous disregard for security requirements issued just prior to the election rendered the machines both illegal and uncertified for use under both federal and state laws, requirements and statutes. In light of these revelations, the GOP has since rushed to swear-in Bilbray, before the votes were even finished counting or the election even certified by the state of California."
