Velvet Revolution has a petition demanding a hand count of ballots in CA-50 in light of the revelations that the Diebold voting equipment was not secured for weeks before the election. Poll workers had the equipment in their homes, garages, and cars for days and weeks ahead of the election.

Bradblog has been covering the story extensively.

PDA is also watching closely and is asking everyone to sign the petition demanding a hand count of ballots.

I was wondering why they were swearing Bilbray into office before they'd even finished counting the votes and there was only a 3% margin. The election hasn't been certified. They couldn't wait until the votes were counted? What's the big rush, kids?

I sent a letter to the Secretary of State too. I'll let you know what (and if) I hear back from them.
