But he makes a very good point: this shouldn't turn into a partisan issue. I don't think fixing the voting systems in the future unfairly helps one party at the expense of another. Unfortunately the majority of the U.S. population is completely uninformed about the problems in the Diebold machines. <a href="http://www.randomwisdom.com/index.php?p=224">Read here.</a> The guy has opinions and he makes no secrets about it.
