Interview with Voting Machine Company Reps

laupsavid writes "Here's an interesting interview with government and industry reps on the Black_Box_Voting site. I think it's funny (yet terrifying), almost like an extended Shark-Tank Unclear on the Concept item. They interview Paul Miller, Registration and Systems Manager of the Office of the Secretary of State. Black Box Voting is dedicated to informing people of reasons to reject electronic voting systems. I believe Bev Harris runs the site, and she claims to be an expert on accounting fraud. Also, see this area of the a site called Ecotalk for a list of instances of purported fraud by electronic voting."

vote with yOUR wallet.

those scurvIE bastards appear to be unable to understand the words no, &/or less.

kudos on the wallet voting so far J., keep it up. it looks like there's few places left for them to hide DOWt now.

Why machines at all?

What's wrong with a pencil and paper ballot system. If the polls are properly counted, there's no possibility, other than minor statistical error, for fraud in the voting system. Of course, if the ballots are thrown away in an attempt to swing the vote you have a bigger problem than errors associated with voting machines. If Floridians had used a paper and pencil ballot, we wouldn't currently be subjected to the lunacy of the boy king they call President, because the Supreme Court wouldn't have had the chance to subvert voter intentions and hand the presidency to the jackass that some regard as presidential material -- and not part time swing manager at Chucky Cheese.

Does anyone, other than Americans, use voting machines?

buy george?

Ironic

that you people are so against black box electronic voting because it's not transparent, yet look at slashdot: an opaque moderation system where anything and everything can be overruled or overturned by the power of the almighty editor.

how come the hypocritical editors don't practice what they preach?

You are *STILL* an idiot

[Eric Green]

You are throwing around bullshit allegations, without a bit of proof. But that's typical for you Bush Fedayeen. You are a bunch of gullible "useful idiots" who believe anything that your Party commissars (Shawn Hammity, Rush Limbo, Anne "The Bitch" Cutlery, etc.) tells you, without the slightest bit of proof, and then go out to tell these outrageous slanderous lies as if they were facts handed down from God Above as The One and Only Truth.

Well, sir, as a by-god *AMERICAN* I will tell you that you're full of shit, and a damned fool. I refuse to let you Bush Fedayeen intimidate me or shut me up. To imply that any party has any lock on election fraud (or that Black people refusing to vote for Republican bigots is "election fraud") is an intellectual bankrupt notion that has no bearing on reality. I realize that your Party commissars believe that if they repeat a lie enough times, and make it BIG enough, they can fool you gullible useful idiots into believing that a lie is the truth. It worked for Hitler, after all. But repeating a lie doesn't make it true, sir, and you should be ashamed of yourself for being such a gullible tool of people who are fundamentally hostile to every principle that made America great.
