Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request

aacool writes "Blackboxvoting.org has raised the largest Freedom of Information request in history. At 8:30 p.m. Election Night, Black Box Voting blanketed the U.S. with the first in a series of public records requests, to obtain internal computer logs and other documents from 3,000 individual counties and townships. Networks called the election before anyone bothered to perform even the most rudimentary audit. Among the first requests sent to counties (with all kinds of voting systems -- optical scan, touch-screen, and punch card) is a formal records request for internal audit logs, polling place results slips, modem transmission logs, and computer trouble slips."

    No you fool.

    I work with computers every day, and I can tell you they always work perfectly.

    And every touch screen I have ever used is always calibrated perfectly well.

    There is no need for a paper trail because they ran tests on 50 votes and found the machine was perfect.

    My response when it's denied will be "Good riddance to badd rubbish!" We don't need any post-election social engineering interfering with the painstaking pre-election tampering!
