Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure
Several well-known security researchers have examined the code for Diebold's voting machines (which we last mentioned two weeks ago) and produced an extensive report (pdf). The NYT has a story on the report, which cuts to the bone: 'Our analysis shows that this voting system is far below even the most minimal security standards applicable in other contexts. We highlight several issues including unauthorized privilege escalation, incorrect use of cryptography, vulnerabilities to network threats, and poor software development processes. For example, common voters, without any insider privileges, can cast unlimited votes without being detected by any mechanisms within the voting terminal.'

It's amazing how quickly we went from having to make entire ballot trucks disapear last election to merely having the same voter from the bush family vote several times. 2004: election year of the vote box spammers!
Beautiful. Glorious and beautiful.
Keep up the good work, Diebold. You are making my case for me.

In addition:
He supports the Saddam Hussein regime and wants to bring the American murderers home ASAP
Wants to reward failure and penalize success in the USA bu usurious taxes on the middle class
Supports every freakish lifestyle know to humans--Homos, Trannys Dog Sex fetish and too many other disgusting acts to mention

Republicans would no more rig an election than they would, I dunno, commit larceny.
Republicans don't do anything wrong, ever. Especially if it has political traction.
If they do do something wrong, well then, the Democrats did it first, which makes it excusable. The Republicans just did it to ensure their political survival, see. Or it's because the ends justifies the means. Abortion is murder, Jesus is coming, and liberals are commie terrorists. Anything is justifiable if you're purpose is higher.
I've found that my posts don't format quite right w/o a sig.
Don't tell anyone about the problems, then when it becomes known you have infinite votes, call it a feature.
Also introduce a talking chad to help you vote, and notify you when it looks like you're writing a letter.
They won't have to rely on registering the dead to vote anymore! JAV
At least this way our presidents are not elected by 20% of the population...
(In the end, I agree with you that mandatory voting is dumb - but it is one of our smallest problems)
