Mike is LIVE tonight to discuss the pink tu-tu Democrats' cave-in on Bush's ongoing illegal spying on Americans. They won't stop the illegal war, won't stop the illegal wiretaps, won't impeach - or even censure - any of the Bush Family criminals. What did they think they were elected to do? If voters wanted Bush rubber-stamps they could've let the Republicans steal the last election, too.

How disappointing. How irresponsible. How unconstitutional.

Speaking of voter fraud, there's been a hopeful turn of events in California where Secretary of State Debra Bowen has disallowed all those pesky voting machines that play so many tricks on the voting public, all in favor of Republican candidates, of course. Finally, verified voting on paper ballots will happen in some portion of America!

According to our good friend Brad Friedman of bradblog.com, "California Secretary of State Debra Bowen decertified, and then recertified with conditions, all but one voting system used in the state. . . . Bowen announced that she will be disallowing the use of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) voting systems made by the Diebold and Sequoia companies on Election Day, but for one DRE machine per polling place which may be used for disabled voters. The paper trails from votes cast on DREs manufactured by those two companies must be 100% manually counted after Election Day."

Brad continues: "The "Top-to-Bottom Review" had found that all Electronic Voting Systems certified in California were easily accessible to hacking. A single machine, the testers discovered, could be easily tampered with by an Election Insider, Voting Machine Company Employee, or other individual in such a way that an entire election could be affected without detection. . . . " There's much more there, including a partial transcript of Bowen's late-night press briefing early Saturday morning. Go to bradblog.com and read it.

So what happens now that Californians have secured the right to, y'know, have their rightful votes legally counted? If California has decided these touch-screen machines are too easily manipulated and corrupt? Shouldn't all other Secretaries of State using the exact same faulty machines come to the same conclusion? (Don't hold your breath, Buckeyes).
