Posted by kdawson on from the why-bother-with-mere-tampering dept.

_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."

  1. ACORN? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why do Republicans make a big deal about ACORN when G.W. Bush stole two elections and illegally assumed the role of president for eight years?

    Do they only care about voting fraud when the opposition allegedly does it?

    Does it matter that the proof of voting fraud is overwhelming in the case of G.W. Bush and underwhelming in the case of Obama?

    It seems like if you are a Republican and a crook, that is fine. If you are a Democrat and a crook, then it is the end of the world as we know it.
