Hm. Sorry, dc, can't agree about that - the group/website quoted below is educational about the 2004 election. But they think their is some good news following on "Today 27 states ? including such large ones as California, New York, Illinois and Ohio ? require electronic voting machines to produce a voter-verified paper trail. There is paper-trail legislation pending in a dozen more states." That's a bit late for poor old New Orleans of course where I think people (can't call them voters as so many didn't get to vote) were treated with most contempt.


As the US govt is now effectively our govt and their banks and lawyers now own what were once ours, and hence run everything, I now take a lot more interest in the US elections than the sideshow that goes on here.

The web site http://verifiedvoting.org features interactive maps which illustrate voting incidents by county, state and the nation as a whole. The EIRS system is being used by the 60 member organizations of the Election Protection Coalition to build a database of voting information for use in post-election litigation and legislation. The coalition will also use the information to push for new voting regulations while lobbying public officials and e-voting vendors for improved voting processes and procedures.


Because of the 2000 election meltdown in Florida, election watchers closely monitored polling places in that state. Matt Zimmerman, an EFF voting attorney in Miami, Florida said there have been multiple reports of voting machine problems in Florida where incorrect candidates had been selected by e-voting machines and voters had problems going back and changing their votes. He said most of these malfunctions occurred with the Sequoia Edge machine in Palm Beach County were voters were presented with preselected choices on the entire electronic ballot which were often skewed away from Democratic candidates."

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time

    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
