Avi Rubin and More on Electronic Voting

jgo writes "Johns Hopkins Computer Science professor Avi Rubin, posted his experience as an election judge on his website. It's an interesting read and exposes some potential security problems with electronic voting. At one point he held in his hand the five memory cards containing all of his precinct's votes." Rubin had posted his experience in the primary election earlier.

    Damn... I wish I had mod points.

    There is a consistent pattern of fraud and vote manipulation in this election. Read these articles, in fact, looking at them one of them is being hosted by me (I may get slashdotted).

    We need to keep this issue in the forefront. if we let this election's shaky results go unchallendged, the next one will be even worse.

    "With a manual system, it takes hundreds of people to count the vote. Sure, it takes more time, buit I can wait."

    Unfortunately, the Republicans couldn't.

    8 hours after the polls had closed in all states, and votes were coming in, and paper/provisional/absentee ballots were being counted (a process which can take up to 11 days, especially with overseas ballots and "paper" mail), Bush was quoted as saying "This process is taking far too long."

    An hour later, he publically announced that he was making his acceptance speech. This was before Kerry had tossed in the towel. Many believe Kerry was forced to cede the election to Bush because of this one point.

    Bush couldn't wait for the actual votes to be counted (and since he can't forge paper ballots as easily as he already provably forged votes in the voting machines), it would have destabilized his "victory", so he rushed in and claimed he had already won.

    The rest of us, including Avi Rubin, know the difference. There are hundreds of thousands of ballots still uncounted. Many of them in many counties, will clearly show that Kerry had a much larger number of wins than Bush in many states. Added all together, Kerry had quite a few more electoral votes than our corrupt media would have you believe.
