Advocates Warn 31 States They Could Lose Votes | PEEK | AlterNet

"The defect may be in place in as many as 31 states that use Premier voting systems in some or all of their counties. The states include AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NH, OH, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI and WY. All of these states use the Premier equipment, but the product advisory from Premier indicated that states which use GEMS tabulator versions 1.20.2 and earlier are definitely vulnerable to the flaw."

Premier was known as Diebold, the company whose president guaranteed a Republican win in Ohio in 2004...on machines proven to flip votes. Notice how Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, three key swing states, are on the list.

Prediction: Unless Obama's early results put him ahead by double-digit percentages, McCain will "win" in a close finish reminiscent of 2000 and 2004. I'll make it clearer: The election will be stolen--again--unless the early voting results put Obama way in front.
