I was reading a diary at dkos about how pro-choice women probably make up the majority of democratic voters and should not be ignored in the push for the "values" vote. I decided to google some statistics after reading the comments arguing one way or the other.

According to this source- 43% of all american women have an abortion by the age of 45.More below.

I want to express my concern about the validity of the November presidential election.  A study just made public by a U.C. Berkeley professor, Michael Hout and his doctoral students, compared the percentage of votes for George Bush in Florida counties using electronic voting machines vs. Florida counties using other methods.  They concluded that a large increase in votes for Bush correlated to counties using electronic voting more than any other factor.   They performed a multiple regression analysis considering the counties previous voting patterns in 1996 and 2000, against factors like changes in turn-out and demographics ( race, income level, etc.)  They found the greatest differential was the type of voting system used, coming up with a figure of at least 130,000 more votes for Bush in Florida counties using electronic voting. This increase was 99.9% statistically significant.  Multiply this effect across the country and a 3.5 million vote "mandate" may disappear.
    Also, recently in the news, the state of California settled a lawsuit with the electronic voting company Diebold for 2.6 million dollars for violations of the False Claims act and the Unfair Competition Law.  According to the settlement, Plumas County is to receive upgraded touchscreen firmware and upgraded vote tabulation software. "Additionally the settlement includes important provisions that would require Diebold to strengthen the security of its touchscreen voting machines and vote tabulation servers" -according to a press release from Attorney General Bill Lockyer's office. Let's see, these provisions will change hard-coded "supervisor" passwords to passwords that could be set by election officials, reconfigure vote-tabulation servers to be more secure and prohibit Diebold from connecting voting systems to specified networks or transmitting results or downloading software or firmware through these networks.  I don't understand all of it but I don't like the sound of it either.  The fact that the C.E.O. of the Diebold company is a major fund raiser for the Bush re-election campaign doesn't make me feel any better.
    According to the newspaper, Plumas County election officials are pleased with our  Diebold voting machines performance.  I think we should take a second look and either be reimbursed for those machines or provide a voter verifiable paper receipt.  Then, we could reliably audit voting results and recount close races.
