Computerized Election Results With No Election
_Sharp'r_ writes "In Honduras, according to breaking Catalan newspaper reports (translations available, USA Today mention), authorities have seized 45 computers containing certified election results for a constitutional election that never happened. The election had been scheduled for June 28, but on that day the president, Manuel Zelaya, was ousted. The 'certified' and detailed electronic records of the non-existent election show Zelaya's side having won overwhelmingly."
Oh noes, electronic records can be faked by people who have physical access to the machines. Didn't see THAT one coming.

Help stamp out iliturcy.
I for one, am just happy to know that these crazy foreigners can screw up something as great as electronic voting. At least I can be safe in my assurances that it can't happen in a great democracy like the United States!
Any government process that features the army forcing a president out on a plane in his pajamas is at least as unacceptable as a crooked election keeping one in power.
That's pretty much what they did according to their own constitution.
That is one funky constitution.
This is Barack Hussein Obama, and I take issue with this posting. Let there be no mistake about it, there will be an investigation into this matter.
If the Civilization series has taught me anything, it is that even a Warrior or Militia unit is sometimes a match for a Stealth Bomber.
At ${provider}, we guarantee we'll elect the winners, every time!
to get Jimmy Carter to certify the results. Whether the election actually took place is irrelevant.
