Mrs. Marilyn B. Blankenship noticed what a beautiful day it was like going to vote at the beginning of the Renner-Frankford Branch Library Dallas 6400 Frankford Rd two blocks from public his home in Collin County, Texas near Dallas. M.. Arthur Edwards, the widow of his oldest friend in the fourth year it accompanied a short trip to the library in the car waiting for her to finish her brief civic obligation. A Texas native, Ms. Blankenship estimated warm weather in autumn. Growing up in Texas, the daughter of two strong parents had left their mark on it. She has learned self-discipline of both, with a span of honesty. Exercise their civic obligations is something Mrs. Blankenship is very serious, both in Texas and one American. After graduating college, she began teaching school in 1952. During his career as a teacher, she looked at changing the school system of Texas alarming ways. Children, she believes, is not only necessary information they need to develop inquisitive minds so that they can think for themselves. Mrs. Blankenship family came into the library and pick up votes. A long time Republican this time she is determined to vote for change. Turn as she enters the polling booth and inserts his card in the Diebold voting machine. Diebold is a local business in Texas, one of their facilities is just down the street.

When I voted for the first pair of candidates X “showed exactly where she wanted. This time she decided not to vote for Republicans even thoose, that it supports in the past. Judges came to the list of judges. A partisan position Texas .. Mrs. Blankenship looked at his notes. This time, she decided her vote will go for Libertarian candidate and one or two Democrats, approved it. One by one she tried to vote for their choice. Whenever machine moves to vote for Republican candidate .. Ms. Blankenship said angrily, leaving the cabin to complain about one of the few ladies who worked at the polling station. One of the workers came and looked again changes his voice machines.

Shake to the distress of Mrs. Blankenship left the library. It can not not sure if my vote counts, as she wanted. Now she does not notice the time. sir. Edwards could see she was upset and it asked what happened, I advised him to call the FBI

Mrs. Blankenship believes in defending the right thing. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she went to the library and copied the names and addresses of 100 people in Congress who had hoped that the vote of censure of President Clinton for his fraudulent behavior of lying to the American people trickle of responses returned to her, especially advised him to limit his claims for his own election agent theft and -. own voice. – seems much more serious breach of Bill Clinton

regards Mrs. Blankenship is a moral character and intentions. Those in power have been growing for decades. It is seen that the quality of education accessible to children, it is learned becomes rough, moving the focus from the center of literacy and basic understanding of citizenship and the history of candy coating that prepares students for real life or the life or established love of learning. This is not a partisan issue it goes much deeper. The emergence of Governor Bush only accelerated deterioration of the education offered to children of Texas. Where will it end? not want children to know something? question remained in his mind, his concern.

And now she was filled with infringement thereof. He does not expect it just walk away from the polling place and do nothing? Mrs. Blankenship opened the door of his house, sitting at his desk and started writing letters.

24 October, 2006

I am writing to contact the Elections Office Collin County to continue the paper path that I created entitled aloud irregularities in which I lived on 23 October at 11:45 of the 74th Division located in the Library Renner Frankford, Dallas, Collin County. I filed a complaint over the phone the day of the irregularity with Jan Lay in McKinney. She asked me to write the parliament passed a law which requires a vote to use what I did. I also spoke by phone Secretary of State office and be in a letter of synthesis, together with a copy of my letter to federal officials representing I was in Austin.

Note that I’m of two parts connected with the national interest that the Diebold machine vote, which I used is not certain. Why are we responsible for dragging their feet to make computers Create paper trail so that voters like me who can not be sure that their voices have been stolen from one machine? There is evidence that problems arose in Texas, where votes were added that N ‘was never monolithic, and other examples where votes were credited to unsuccessful candidates. The machine I used for a recorded vote of three times instead of libertarian Republicans chose to individuals.listed that three houses on the screen estate. I was shocked, I spoke so high that the machine is not recording my voice and give their vote for a candidate I choose. J “I had to make three consecutive adjustments to correct three errors. I was shocked even more when you receive a summary. I saw Perry, Dewhurst and Combs were credited with the votes not cast for them all! I am sure that I have chosen for these offices and Chris Bell denied the vote I cast. These three errors in the summary were corrected before the election I was presented my card removed. I will always believe he used the machine is equipped with a key Republican votes.

Collin County is known to hold strong Republican, but vote for the party. vote for each candidate individually. If no opposition candidate and the candidate himself did not want, I do not vote in this category at all. I choose the candidate support an independent person who used my voice as the Constitution intended to be used. I’m voting regularly since 1952, when cast my first vote in presidential elections.

Please take my complaint seriously voting machine, where rigged Diebold and please do not miss this off as a glitch in the machine I use. I do not think a small problem caused what I experienced in early voting October 23, 2006. I see mistakes that fraud on the part of someone tampering with the computer in this machine.
