20 Amazing Facts About Voting In The United States

1. 80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S.

2. There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the US voting machine industry.

3. The vice-president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers.

4. The chairman and CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

5. 35% of ES&S is owned by Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who became Senator based on votes counted by ES&S machines.

These are a few little details every American should know, regarding the most vital process of our republic. As with the ones quoted above, all the others on the list involve the two companies that control the machines that we're now forced to use, whether we like it or not.

The fact that both these companies are clearly politically biased should raise a stink, but for some reason it hasn't. Voting has become such a fraud, yet we don't even seem to notice.
