Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True

jfreon writes "On Democracy Now Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting fame, disclosed (near the end of the transcript) that in the compromised 1.8Gigs off Diebold's FTP site they uncovered "an actual election file containing actual votes on election day from San Luis Obispo County, California". Problem is, the date stamp was 3:31pm - during voting hours! The Diebold system uses a wireless network card. Worse: "So that means if they can pull the information in, they can also send information back into those machines. ""

The first amendment does NOT state that God should be kept out of government affairs. It says that government affairs should not impose anything on God. Specifically, the legislative branch. It was not directed at executive orders or court decisions, but only that CONGRESS not make a LAW. If they had wanted a more general removal of God from government they would have been more general, but as is evident from their actions, writings, and the first amendment itself, this is not what they intended.

Don't read more into this post than is here, I'm simply saying that the first amendment is NOT about removing God and religion from government. It is simply about preventing congress from passing a specific kind of law. Note also that it does not restrict state governments in this area at all.

The difference between funny and stupid can be discerned through punctation.

If you but a ";-)" at the end of the message, then it is funny.

If you fail to put your smiley in, it leads us to believe your serious by suggesting that NOT VOITING will somehow increase your influence. Any senior citizen will inform you otherwise.
