CNN Reports on Diebold
An Anonymous Reader writes "CNN has finally picked up the story about concerns about Diebold voting machines. It's about time this made it into the mainstream media." If you're interested, here are a couple
of related
stories.
A year from the election and it looks like some people are already maneuvering to challenge the results.
"It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance." - Thomas Sowell
And needless to say, there will be lots of trojaned computers.
How many do we have on Macs and Linux boxes? Let's bill Bill Gates.
blah blah blah The Republicans stole the election blah blah blah. Funny, it's only partisan Democrats who say this, while others still question Diebold's lack of a paper trail, don't come to such a fanatical conclusion. Their has been no proof, or even suggestion by the voters, of such massive voter fraud.
With just over a year to go before the next presidential race, touchscreen voting machines don't seem like the cure-all some thought they would be. Skeptics fear they'll only produce more problems, from making recounts less reliable to giving computer hackers a chance to sabotage results.
Oh yes, those EVIL HACKERS are going to really fsck the election. Why didn't they cite the connections in diebold to republicrats and the fishy elections? Oh, right, because it's one big merry-go-round clusterfuck. hmm...so the reason the machines are saying republican are because they are broken or hackers are making the votes republican but somehow I think a hacker is more likely to have everyone vote for "my big cok" rather than the govenator.
And I'll bet if Ralph Nader wins the next presidential election, that they'll do several recounts in disbelief and try to make sure he isn't president and if he gets 20% (which I think he will, he got over 5% last time around when crazy mofo's like me didn't know him) of the vote and any voting area with these machines will eek out almost every vote in favor of bush. They'll probably pass some bill so that their foundation won't get federal funding the next year like they did last time.
Candy-Coated Knowledge
People who don't like them say Diebold is guilty of fraud and incompetency.
Yay misleading reporting.

Give us an issue worthy enough to incite military commanders to reject their source of authority, and we will. Not before then. Not without outside assistance.
