More on the Dangers of eVoting

blamanj writes "A lot of discussion has been focused on the lack of security in electronic voting systems. What hasn't been as widely discussed, is just how tiny the voting manipulations have to be to have an effect. In this months CACM (cite, pdf of original paper is here), some Yale students show that altering only a single vote per machine would have changed the electoral college outcome of the 2000 election. Changing only two votes/machine would have flipped the results for four states."

Hey, chucklehead. I note that while you were responding in righteous indignation, you conveniently ignored everything I posted that invalidates that entire last paragraph in your post. Go back and read my position again slowly and carefully. Maybe you'll get the point if you don't go ripping through it with the intent of attacking a position you couldn't be bothered to understand.

Nice tin-foil hat kook conspiracy you have there but Republicans have had no trouble getting elected before the Diebold fiasco (Congress, Senate, Presidency, Governerships, State Legistlatures, etc)

Oh, I love America. I hate stupid Americans. Much like yourself.

Now, like almost every other dipshit who wasted precious seconds of their life responding to a post they clearly didn't read, I see that you couldn't be bothered to actually review and comprehend the post, nor does it appear that you bothered to read the article which has absolutely nothing to do with eVoting-specific or even realistic threats.

You, sir, like 98.5% of all the other retards that log into this site to exercise their god-given right to form painfully uninformed, wildly inaccurate, opinions, are a moron.
