Another Edwards 1st: Ban Touch-Screen Voting
By: Mark W Adams


The BRAD BLOG : EXCLUSIVE: JOHN EDWARDS SAYS 'YES' TO NATIONWIDE BAN ON TOUCH-SCREEN (DRE) VOTING MACHINES!:

Presidential Candidate Becomes First to Join Growing Movement When Queried About Issue at Campaign Event in California
Edwards Becomes Second Politician in a Week to Announce Support for the Election Integrity Movement After Being Asked About it at Public Event

While it's unlikely to get as much attention as Ann Coulter calling him a 'faggot' during her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last night, The BRAD BLOG has learned that John Edwards is the first Presidential Candidate to announce his support for a growing movement calling for a ban on the use of all Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) voting systems in American elections.

The BRAD BLOG was contacted late last night by Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) Board Chair Mimi Kennedy with the news that during a campaign event in Los Angeles Edwards agreed to join her organization in calling for an end to electronic ballots in American elections.

Mark, I am moving towards Edwards.

I have a post that shows why. Indirectly, Coulter is moving me there.

Excellent!

I would love to see the Shennanigan's Machine's go bye-bye.

Now...For me the question is if he will take up the invitation of HRC like Hillary did to discuss his approach to gay rights and marriage equality. For me, even if her's was empty rhetoric, it's the kind of Left/Progressive identification I need to hear.

I want them ALL to take this issue off the debate table by forming one UNITED front on the policy of equality, but I am afraid that won't happen, and me and my partner will get screwed by the political punditry again.

grrrr.
