More Coverage of Electronic Vote Fraud

RECEIVED Thu., Oct. 25, 2007

Dear Editor,
    Thanks to Lee Nichols for covering the mysterious disappearance of Air America Radio last week [“NewsDesk,” Oct. 17]. It was one of the few good resources to explain the loss. The comments on the Chron's website were very interesting. [Editor's note: See the Oct. 26 News feature by Kevin Brass, “Media Watch,” for more.]
    As much as I miss listening to Air America, I have noticed some of the same media blackout on electronic vote fraud in this so-called "liberal media" that is also absent in the mainstream press.
    Even our "liberal" Austin Chronicle has seemed to join the blackout on electronic vote fraud. There have been a few scattered stories but no regular feature on this constantly evolving issue.
    A good example is the fact that the Chronicle has not covered a book locally published a year ago on the subject, HACKED! High Tech Election Theft in America – 11 Experts Expose the Truth!, co-edited by local election integrity activists Abbe Waldman DeLozier and Vickie Karp. A featured story on the book will help educate readers about this issue.
    No matter what issues or candidates are on the ballot, if we don't have transparency in our election system, the counts cannot be trusted. The best solution to electronic voting machines is simply to ban their use and require all votes to be cast on paper and counted by hand, in full public view at the precinct level.
    We the People Radio Network has a great new program Vote Rescue Radio – Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time, hosted by local activists Karen Renick and Vickie Karp on Sunday afternoons, 2-4pm. It airs on 90.1FM in the Austin area and on the Web at www.wtprn.com/listen.shtml.
    I have gotten more information about election-integrity issues from just three two-hour radio programs from Vote Rescue than a full year of Air America Radio.
