CHICAGO TRIBUNE FRONT PAGE: 'Voting Glitches Feared on Nov. 7'
BRAD BLOG FRONT PAGE: They're Not 'Glitches', And They're Not the Fault of the Poll Workers! Stop Blaming Them!
On the same day as NYTimes front paged a story on the coming electoral meltdown. Chicago Trib follows suit in a front pager today that focuses on massive problems in Chicago and Cook County.

The headline is "Voting Glitches Feared on Nov. 7", but as a close reading of the article reveals, these are not "voting glitches". They are not even "glitches". They are FAILURES of the voting machine companies and elections officials. Period. End of story. Got that?
The story rightly refers to "a virtual meltdown" from last spring's primary in Chicago and Cook County, and goes on to add that vote totals can be completely fried…
[I]t will still be possible for workers to accidentally fry vote totals if they forget to disconnect the power from ballot scanners before data cartridges are removed at the end of the night.
"We don't want you to erase any of the memory," warned Gail Weisberg, Cook County's equipment manager coordinator, during a training class last week in Hoffman Estates.
So vote totals can be entirely "fried" and yet we're actually using this system on November 7th?! Moreover, note the language above that says it's "possible for workers" to fry the vote totals. Instead of the more appropriate, "it's possible that the poorly designed systems could have their entire vote totals fried."

These are deadly dangerous and derelict failures by the Voting Machine Vendors and the Officials who have been granted MILLIONS of free federal government tax dollars to replace our democracy with secret vote counting machines that simply do not work. Period.
As we were informed recently by the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project, some of the systems being used in Illinois today were not even certified before people began voting on them. Hello?! Whose fault is that?!
"Most of the inability of the [Hybrid, Activator, Accumulator & Transmitter (HAAT)] devices to successfully transmit data on election night was due to operator error," the article says, in quoting from a report on Illinois' Primary Election Meltdown.
Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again.
Let me be clear here: Our elections are not a fucking Beta Test for unpatriotic Voting Machine Companies. Our Elections are the core of our democracy and should be handled with the care and accuracy and security and transparency that the citizens of the United States deserve.
There are no excuses for the blatant FAILURES (not "glitches", not "snafus", "snags" or "hiccups") of these voting machines, Voting Machine Companies, and the Elections Officials who FAILED to ensure the systems they have purchased to do the job (that WE hired them for) actually work and do the job they are supposed to do.
