Electronic Voting

[elifino]

Fox just ran a report on electronic voting. A fair report of problems associated with electronic voting. The judge comes across not liking same.

4. Voting

The system used in the 2000 election worked fine for 40+ years. It worked fine for Clinton 1, Clinton 2, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy. Just because a handful of idots don't know how to punch holes in a card.... Voting is a right and with rights come responsibilties. YOU are responsibile for reading and punching a hole. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

Am I being too harsh? Should I go to detox?

5. Oh please, get a clue

You don't even know what we're talking about. Go here and do some reading, then report back to us on what you've learned:

6. Hahah

This isnt about punching holes, doof. It's about the paperless touch screen electronic Diebold machines.

The same machines that gave 3 repukes in texas the exact same number of votes in the same election.

The same machines that gave Gore -18,000 votes in 2000.

10. Uh, honey, I think they're talkin' about the NEW electronic voting scheme.

You know, the one with NO PAPER trail.

Sorry, but that system wasn't around for anybody before.

And it's so full of holes and laps of logic that it screams "I'm a fraud being developed by the scum of the Earth!"

Not even a paper trail, how fuckin' stupid do they think we are? (of course, the fact the public isn't shouting in outcry doesn't help the argument that the public is well informed or even being very bright... but that's another, old, story.)
