Florida Voting Machine Logs Reveal Anomalies

boot1780 writes "Having 'successfully sued former Palm Beach County (FL) Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore to get the audit records for the 2004 presidential election,' Black Box Voting reports that the 'internal logs of at least 40 Sequoia touch-screen voting machines reveal that votes were time and date-stamped as cast two weeks before the election, sometimes in the middle of the night.' Besides the date discrepancies, they claim to have discovered countless other errors and anomalies, including a case of one voting machine being 'powered down 128 times during the election'." Given the findings here, can we have a do-over?

    There is a term for what is happening in the US, and that term is Fascism

    The rise of the "religious" right, the disenfranchisement of the poor, voter fraud, blatant cronyism, federal educational and scientific funding cuts, no-bid contracts for the oil and defense industry....

    I mean, the list goes on and on. We are in a pre-fascist or proto-fascist state, end of story. When will the ACLU be labeled a "terrorist organization"?

    Brilliant response. Maybe you're OK with whatever happens in the world around you, but I actually give a damn about making a positive change in whatever small way I can.

    If you want to call it snivelling, feel free. Frankly, if you're someone who's OK with the way the elections went down in 2004, I don't much care what you want to call it.

    I have always believed Bush stole both elections... What is stunning to me is Democrats inability to make a political issue out of even the most serious of crimes commited by the Republicans, which in this case is treason, which is what vote fraud is (I am not a Democrat BTW).

    We've known for quite some time that at least one, probably both presidential elections were stolen -- and numerous congressional/senatorial races were stolen as well. Why is it that can't even make the news? Why aren't the people who have the most to gain from that knowledge doing nothing about it? The Democrats are *NEVER* going to win an important election again util these machines are thrown away.

    Get over it! I am so sick of every week hearing about some other bitching from you sore losers... Start complaining because someone else won and get to work helping our country recover from some of the stupidity of Bush and his predecessor who was equally as horrible.

    So basically you're inferring that the machines setup and run by Democrats illegally gave votes to Bush right?

    Would that include those DIEBOLD machines whose company president just happened to promise to "deliver the state of Ohio to Bush in 2004"?
