The Moderate Independent onboard with Blackbox Voting

[Spiffarino]

...and they're not backing away - SIX articles about it on the front page. The one below is from Tom Bico, the Editor-in-Chief:

People who believe our elections should have integrity, that people should actually both get to vote and have their votes accurately counted, are not of any particular party, they are of all parties. Those who pretend people battling over the election’s results are just sore losers trying to come up with conspiracy theories obviously have missed the last four years.

You know, those four years during which these same people – people like the ones over at www.blackboxvoting.org – have been saying it looks like the fix is in. This is not something people dreamt up on election night as things started to be called for Bush, as the entire non-M/I media is making it out to be. It is nice they have just found www.blackboxvoting.org and finally acknowledged the existence of its founder, but that doesn’t change the fact that for the past four years she and top scientists from top universities and millions upon millions of Americans have been battling against paperless e-voting, because the system quite simply lacks integrity, as it leaves no verifiable paper trail.

This would be bad enough alone if it wasn’t for the second part of this reality: Bush Republicans fought, went to court, and even legislated in places like Florida not to only ensure there would be no paper trail for the e-voting, but that doing a recount would be forbidden by law.

A little odd?

2. Kick.

That last paragraph is an eye-opener. What was it about laws in some states that voting machine companies pushed to outlaw recounts?

8. That was most troubling to me

Bushites in a few states apparently were working to have recounts made very difficult (as they are in my home state) or done away with completely.

We are to trust these machines - along with their extreme RW producers - with our democracy. Is that asking too much? :eyes:

It's so bizarre as to be unbelievable, yet with this bunch I am coming to expect it more and more.
