Too much of our freedom depends upon the ability for free citizens to vote and have our votes counted to not be concerned about this list of thought-provoking facts compiled by the folks over at the Guerrilla Funk website.

Here's a sampler:

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.

Head over to Guerrilla Funk to read the entire list of 20 facts....
