21. Hey, I don't have any dog in this fight either (well, except a belief in representative democracy)

but I agree - it is believable. Stranger things have happened. And consider the principals involved. Two words, alone, do it for me: kkkarl rove. If he's anywhere within five miles of it, there's reason to be suspicious. Or at least raise your antennae up as high as possible and turn up the sensitivity WAY past eleven.

Also - remember that Ohio Secretary of State adding these little software "patches" to certain selected electronic voting devices?

Full disclosure here - I have almost nothing to disclose, fully or partially. My knowledge of cyper-stuff could fit on one of those little capacitor (or resistor?) thingies with a wire coming out of each end. And I do not know anything about the ins and outs of computer programming and installation and apps and all that. Complete idiot/dunce/technophobe. But what I AM good at is observing and interpreting human behavior and sniffing out a rat. Two rats in this case. Ohio's scheming, agenda-driven, judge-defying Secretary of State jon husted AND kkkarl rove. Shades of kenneth blackwell. What is it about these Ohio Secretaries of State???? If they're republi-CON, it seems, they're severely-partisan crooks! Same thing for katherine harris in Florida 12 years ago.

There's something a bit fishy swimming around somewhere in here. Makes me wonder if there's anything to that Anonymous story about their hacking the wrongney campaign's ORCA program. Again, just look at the players - and rove's behavior on Pox Noise on Election Night. He damn near stopped the show when Pox called Ohio for Obama. He was SOOOOO sure. I suppose it could have been mainly because of "the math" inside their own little alternate-reality bubble. But whenever rove's involved, there tend to be Political Dark Arts involved in some way. His hands are NOT clean.
