Teaparty say they did algorithm predictions and say Romney wins.

[midnight]

This article backs up prediction via their Algorithm call for Reagan's win and Bush over Gore... Some questioned those wins back then too.. Now they are using these elections to give credibility to this incredible prediction.. I suppose they can say or do what they want because the software according to Clinton Curtis does what they program it to do....

I have real concernes about computers counting our votes because of no over site, and their private source code. Now the front group for the Koch boys are selling their winner based on computer Algorithms..

If you want to read what the Koch boys are investing in now- read this...

If you need to review Clinton Curtis involvement in our election history read this:
Curtis, "a life-long Republican" at the time, claims that it was his initial belief that Feeney's interest was in trying to stop Democrats from using "such a program to steal an election". Curtis had assumed that Feeney, "wanted to be able to detect and prevent that if it occurred."

Upon delivery of the software design and documentation on CD to Mrs. Yang, Curtis again explained to her that it would be impossible to hide routines created to manipulate the vote if anybody would be able to inspect the precompiled source code.

Mrs. Yang then told him, "You don’t understand, in order to get the contract we have to hide the manipulation in the source code. This program is needed to control the vote in South Florida."Clinton Curtis testimony:http://videosift.com/video/From-The-Programmers-Mouth-How-The-2000-Election-Was-Fixed




If you want to hear about Algorithms and how they take on a direction of their own listen to this:

I hope we have some smart people ready to sift through these algorithms, and make sense, but maybe the secret source code hides the lie....

1. This is scary.

2. do the teaparty know what "algorthim" means?

They think it has to do with Al Gore vs Romney....

[midnight]

5. No probably not...but they are only the front group for the Kochs...

[lame54]

10. they also use it for birth control

[Redford]

12. Thanks for the giggle n/t

[midnight]

14. Yes... Thanks for the laugh....

[davsand]

3. If they have math skills that equal their level of logic I'm shocked they can add single digits.

4. There is not a male teabagger that can

count to 21 without taking his shoes and pants off. I call bullshit.

[slackmaster]

6. Ha! "Al Gore Rhythm" indeed.

I'm glad to see they still have a subtle sense of humour.

[Phlem]

7. I think in

their world "algorithm predictions" means "rigging the election".

8. Rove's 2004 Double-Secret Math

Rove has been giving them math lessons.

In an earlier thread about this CO election prediction software, it was speculated that the program may have been written to render these results. Write a program tailored to predict Reagan over Carter and Bush over Gore, then set it loose on the current problem. Then loudly proclaim success to help distress our side and embolden theirs. Why don't they state that the software correctly predicts a wider sample of past election results? Were other elections simulated?

It sounds a bit dodgy, to me. But there is great cause for concern about election fraud stemming from manipulation of results from electronic voting machines.

9. Gee....

I didn't even know they could spell the word "algorithms".

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. They had to take off their shoes to do it

those that have shoes.

[midnight]

13. The tea baggers aren't doing the math, but they sure are supporting it....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

15. It's nonsense....

....they think "Economy bad, means president can't be re-elected".

Sadly for these asswipes...."Bush fucked up economy, Obama has managed to improve it slowly" negates their bullshit.

16. Princeton's Sam Wang explains the problem with these forecasts

17. they think cutting taxes on the rich improves the economy--obviously math is not

their strong suit. Last night I heard a numerologist on the radio claim the same thing because of his calculations. The only thing that actually counts is the electoral college.

[spanone]

18. i'm sure they're good with math

[Ohio Joe]

19. Teabaggers attempted to create an algorithm?

pffffftt... Yeah... There is something that can be trusted
