    Electronic Voting Machines

    Would you trust an Electronic Voting Machine?

    I would not because:
    The results can be changed.
    They could be hacked.
    If you thought hanging chads were a problem.
    Private companies would own the software for the machine.

    I could never trust the count and would probably quit voting.

    Funny how the DNC pushed for the use of these kinds of machines after the last election. But not any more!

    HANGING CHADS was a a red herring the DNC threw out to the world, however what people like me knew as a fact was that these same machines worked 1,000,000's of times before in various elections and chads we're sometimes present but no big issue, not until they MADE it an issue.

    Actually the only ones that are even close to being remotely clean is the booths we have now.

    No. Unless they print a paper record and a receipt.

    The Paper Record?

    Would not the paper record be the result of the computer data. What if the data collected is changed before it is printed?

    Another phony Dem "issue".

    Hey, buddy. You're working off the old calendar.

    We were supposed to use this attention grabber before the Foley mess started. It was also supposed to soften up the public for the Dems "we lost, again, because the GOP cheated" whine.

    But all that's out the door.

    Haven't you gotten the memo.

    Can this crap till the Foley thing plays out.

    Dems are still scared that the public might ask them for specific proposals on the issues---taxes, security, economic growth---that have cost the Dems power for many years.

    If you can't think and stand on your own two feet, don't expect me to prop you up.

    " Diebold Inc. insisted that cable network HBO cancel a documentary that questions the integrity of its voting machines, calling the program inaccurate and unfair.

    The program, "Hacking Democracy," is scheduled to debut Thursday, five days before the 2006 U.S. midterm elections. The film claims that Diebold voting machines aren't tamper-proof and can be manipulated to change voting results.

    "Hacking Democracy" is "replete with material examples of inaccurate reporting," Diebold Election System President David Byrd said in a letter to HBO President and Chief Executive Chris Albrecht posted on Diebold's Web site. Short of pulling the film, Monday's letter asks for disclaimers to be aired and for HBO to post Diebold's response on its Web site."

    I've been listening to lib talk radio for the past two days. It's full of stuff about how the electronic machines won't work right.

    At one extreme, that Karl Rove has programmed the machines so that votes for Dems will be recorded by Repubs. One organization said they're going to have lawyers on hand, "just in case" there are any malfunctions. (Why not a programmer or a technician?).

    I take this as pre-emptory groundwork for a an expected Democratic loss on Tuesday.

    Man, is that convuluted or what!
