Diebold Patch May Be Evidence of '02 Election Tampering
An anonymous reader writes "Stephen Spoonamore, founder of IT security firm Cybrinth and former advisor to John McCain, claims he has new evidence of election tampering by Diebold in the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senate races. A whistleblower gave Spoonamore a patch that was applied to Diebold machines in person by the Diebold CEO. Spoonamore confirmed that the patch did not correct the clock problem it supposedly addressed, but contained two parallel programs. Without access to the hardware, he could not learn more. He reported his findings to the Justice Department, which has not acted."

When one cites this case, can't the argument be made that the USA is just like any other third world country?
If you asked me, I'd say "yes" "yes" "yes" it is.
Yes, Republicans.
Er, did you even read the summary? The summary says:
Stephen Spoonamore, founder of IT security firm Cybrinth and former advisor to John McCain, claims he has new evidence of election tampering by Diebold in the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senate races.
So, since you like blaming Republicans for everything, perhaps you will think that this is only because this accusation will benefit Republicans, but if you RTFA, it says that some of the voting irregularity was Democratic candidates (a senator and a governor) losing to Republican candidates, despite having led the polls by a significant margin.
Why don't you just come out and say that you hate Republicans for some irrational reason (perhaps you were molested as a child by Republicans)?
... from the Bush DOJ? "We'll nab 'em and hang 'em"? Doesn't the man know why AG Alberto Gonzales resigned, or the fact that the VP office stuck its fingers into the DOJ's hiring process? There is absolutely nothing that the politicized DOJ and castrated Congress will do, so he had better air the politicians' and plutocrats' dirty laundry across the 'net and mass media.
Better yet, take up a collection and buy some ad space from Fox. "Did your elected official win fair and square?"
"We are Microsoft. You shall be assimilated. Competition is futile."
It scales effortlessly and is very hard to spin.
I'd guess the reason you use voting machines is that Americans don't seem to believe anything is a useful thing or service unless you can cheat. A clue as to the reason behind the present state of your economy.
Market forces mWhahaha. Oh yeah ... no disrespect ;).
Ok, I don't want to defend trolls, but he has a point. The timing of Obama's trip was to remain secret for security purposes, just like Bush's, McCain's, and everyone else's to Iraq. McCain (possibly) gave away that timing (McCain says he doesn't know exact timing for Obama's trip), allowing possible assassins, in a warzone, to better target Obama. That goes beyond fraud into the territory of (possibly) abetting terrorists. If someone gave away that info regarding Bush, they'd be in GITMO, and I may agree with that detention.
At this time, it is the pubs who have all but destroyed us. Our deficit was mostly done by 2 pubs; reagan and W. Likewise, we are in an occupation that is destroying America. Take it a step further. The pubs speak about our rights to guns, while ignoring all the rest of our rights. Finally, ALL the pubs ignore the evidence of top pubs selling nuclear secrets to Turkey and Pakistan (giving them both the bomb), the total corruption that they have brought to DC, and even this sorry state of affairs that USA is in. The pub party consists mostly of Liars, corrupt, immoral ppl.
Until 4 years ago, I had never voted for a dem/pub (Though I was going to vote for gore in 2000; sick GF prevented it). I am now voting dems until the pubs change their party. The top neo-cons MUST be imprisoned. The top pubs that sold our nuke secrets and created the nightmare that we have in the middle east need to swing (and not at their usual sex party). All in all, until they are cleaned up, I will continue to be against pubs. If they go back to being goldater pubs, and not the religious right-wing nuts that they have become, then I will be happy to consider them.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
but the electoral commission sends out a reply paid envelope for you to send back.
Well, here in America, voters have gotten real lazy. So much so, that in democrat counties in a pub state, the pubs will send the election ballot pre-marked for you. That way, you do not need to fill it in. Just send it back.

Oh, lordy, get over yourself and your sanctimony.
Your stupidity is stunning. I don't even know where to start. In fact, I think your view of the world may be so skewed that there may well be no way to talk sense to you. Maybe I could mention that there were no Al Qaeda in Iraq before the US occupation, but I doubt you would be able to even parse those words.
You are a dimwit, your president is a dimwit and your candidate for president is a dimwit. I'm guessing you may come from a long line of dimwits, going back many generations.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Fine, fine. How about "banana republic"? Quite honestly, I'm having trouble distinguishing America 2005 from Honduras 1935.
