Election Fraud Talking Point #237
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 10:32 AM by garybeck
I think this sums it up pretty well.


It should be difficult to steal an election, and easy to catch someone trying to do so.

Right now, we have the opposite.

It's relatively easy to steal an election, if you work at Diebold or ESS. And it's virtually impossible to catch someone doing it.


Can anyone argue that?

1. Only To The Extent....
..that we have the fox guarding the hen house. This is what happens when you have "One Party" rule.

2. Elaborating on the talking point
"It is easy to steal an election:"
A single person or small software team at Diebold or ES&S could write a line or two of malicious code on to the DREs and/or opscan memory cards which could alter the vote counting process in any way they choose.

"It is difficult to catch a person trying to do so:"
With no voter verified paper ballots (or trail), no random audits, and secret software code, there is literally no way to catch a person rigging the machines. It's literally like giving someone the key to a bank vault, a pill that makes them invisible, and when the money is missing, telling the police they can't go and inspect the crime scene. Would anyone ever get caught under this scenario?
