Diebold Variations --because America's democracy is not open source

diebold_30a.jpg

Thanks to dana boyd, the high priestess of social networking, I found this wonderful site with some frighteningly real parody ads of Deibold, one of the two companies in the country that manufacture electronic voting machines --and which may have won the Republicans 8 years of elections.

Rand Creaga writes:

I came into possession of the image of Stalin casting a vote, and wondered what the ghastly old fellow might have made of the new touchscreen voting technology. A magazine ad suggested itself, and then another, and another... They're arranged here in the order conceived; after two days inspiration

This site would make Brad Friedman, the blogosphere's anti-Diebold crusader, a very happy man.

Enjoy.

Words to live by

"What James Madison and the other men of his generation had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment was that there should be no official relationship of any character between government and any church or many churches, and no levying of taxes for the support of any church, or many churches, or all churches, or any institution conducted by any of them."


— -- Sam Ervin, address, U.S. Senate (April 23, 1973), quoted from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
