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?
I thought this was common knowledge? :-) Move along...
Bender: Wait, my cheating unit malfunctioned. You gotta' give me a do-over.

Probably more likely that they were having "moron operating the machine" issues.
This is ridiculous, how hard is it to make a machine for basic data entry? Is the company who made these machines really that incompetent?
I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy!
Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun!

Abraham Lincoln: the jackass who failed to stop the Civil War
Some people might blame the Civil War on James Buchanan or Franklin Pierce. But the facts speak for themselves. Lincoln was sworn in on March 4, 1861. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861.
Not only that, but Lincoln is also reported to have ignored a memo titled "Confederates Determined To Fire on Fort Sumter"!
...very passionate and believe that they honestly know what is better for the rest of us. That mindset allows them to break the law, even if they are certain to get caught.
Wait, are you certain you weren't describing the Bush administration?
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
