Paganism is about freedom.

Diebold and their ilk think they are above the law and their machines
are faulty, flawed, and easily tampered with. Diebold continues to
break the law and as a results many states including the state of
California have continued to punish them. Please support this bill to
end Diebold and their ilk by contacting your congress if you are an
American.
