Judge Suppresses Report On Voting Systems

Irvu writes "A New Jersey Superior Court Judge has prohibited the release of an analysis conducted on the Sequoia AVC Advantage voting system. This report arose out of a lawsuit challenging on constitutional grounds the use of these systems. The study was conducted by Andrew Appel on behalf of the plaintiffs, after the judge in the case ordered the company to permit it. That same judge has now withheld it indefinitely from the public record on a verbal order."

    if he collaborates with companies producing manipulatable voting machines i don't think he'll need to worry about that.

    Wow, first he orders... then he orders...

    And if "the company" did get into the judges pocket they would soon find out that Judge Linda Feinberg is a she.

    Well, let's see 4 = D, right?

    There 3 4's.

    There are 4 1's and 4 > 3, so subtract 10 from the 31 factor and you get 21. 21=U

    The first two digits of 326 are 3 and 2, the sum of which is 5. 5=E

    So our first word is DUDE.

    And I'm pretty sure the rest of the message has to do with thinking, because 4433 makes you think.

    So, the message is:

    "Dude, you are SOOOO overthinking this."

    I actually read TFA. The questions you raise are answered (implied, really) there, and in addition you'd find that Judge Linda Feinberg is not a "he".

    But that would spoil the fun of random speculation! :)

    I think she would have to worry more about how she suddenly became a man.

    Yeah, but can we trust a review by a bunch of nobodies? I mean, it's not like they had a Brian Kernighan on the team ... oh, wait.
