Votamatic followup...

[alexpgp]

I found the URL for the article at ABCNews.com about the "Votamatic" voting machine that was found in the possession of a Florida state legislator.

From that page:

   According to a police report filed at the Palm Beach County
sheriff’s office and obtained by ABCNEWS, Irving Slosberg,
53, pulled the mechanism from his car and handed it over to
police on Nov. 11 after denying to a county government
employee that he had it.
   When told of the incident, Palm Beach County’s supervisor
of elections, Theresa LePore, declined to press charges,
according to the report.
   "She noted that this incident did occur during the hand
count of the presidential election and LePore stated she did
not wish to pursue further this matter at this time due to
extenuating circumstances," it said.
   No further action was taken.

This fellow Slosberg, the article goes on to say, "recently won a seat in the state Legislature amid allegations he tried to buy his election."

I'm shocked. Shocked to hear such allegations about a politician.

Extenuating circumstances. Umm-hmmm.

Cheers...

I saw the headline at ABCNews.com but I forgot to read the article. Thanx for posting that Alex, it was interesting to note that no one in the broadcast media picked it up at all. When I first saw the headline I said to myself, "gee, this wasn't on CNN..."

Thanks for the link, Alex. I've passed it on to a few friends. I'm not surprised that the rest of the unbiased media didn't bother to pick it up ;)
