"electronic voting machines can't be trusted anywhere. Not even here"

You imply that American elections are rigged by voting machines but Venezuelan elections are not rigged even though they use voting machines.

Which is it?

Was the last election rigged? How about 2006?

If voting machines can't be trusted anywhere, how do you know that the 2006 and 2008 elections weren't rigged?

"O'Dell last fall penned a letter pledging his commitment 'to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President.'"

Still wrong, He said he was committed. Even so, did he do it? Was he capable? It seems to me that he was politically committed, campaign wise and fund raising wise, and didn't realize has bad it looked because of his Diebold position.

After all he admitted it was a "huge mistake". That seems to suffice for Democrats who "screwed up" even when it can be proven that they did something wrong but others are guilty as charged without due process like the kind that is demanded for terrorists.

NYT: "Mr. O'Dell drew criticism of his company in August when he sent an invitation to a fund-raising party that said, "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." He said he had not written it himself, though he declined to say who had, and intended only to sign a party invitation."
