Dobbs question! Do you think it's acceptable that electronic voting

[napi21]

machines can fail almost a 10th of the time?

Right now, it's 95% to 5% NO, but I suggest we all vote NO and make it 99%!!!!!!!

1. For Christ sakes.

Who are the 5% who are voting "Yes"?
Diebold and ES&S stockholders?

3. The BFEE. nt

2. I voted no, on principle, but...

...a random failure rate of 10% doesn't trouble me nearly as much as a 100% possibility of undetectable hacking, allowing races to be flipped 51%-49%.

4. Does It Matter?

Could be 100%, but we're not in a democracy right now. The opinions of the citizens don't matter in the least. Heck, our votes don't matter, so why should our opinions.

When someone maintains absolute power, they have little to fear from what insignificant public thinks.

5. I voted and added the comment:

It is also unacceptable that they can be and have been rigged!

[lonestarnot]

8. Yes, unnacceptable, but how did you add a comment?

[napi21]

9. There's a link right under either your vote or the vote results.

I can't recall which, but it shows in blue and says something like send a comment.

[lonestarnot]

12. Thanks will do dat!

[NoSheep]

10. There is a place where you can send a comment to Lou. So I

referred to the poll.

[lonestarnot]

13. Thanks no sheep!

[Double T]

6. 10% is certainly enough to hand an election over to the........

candidate that ACTUALLY DID NOT WIN!!!! You would have to be stupid or crooked or both if ANY% failure is acceptable.

[Hubert Flottz]

7. Would IRS think it was acceptable if I failed to pay my taxes a...

10th of the time?

[napi21]

11. OR only 90% of what you owe!

I'm afraid I have to admit, there will always be some degree of bad votes. Somebody will always manage to vote under the name of a dead man, someone (like Ann Coulter) will always manage to vote in a district they aren't permitted to, but that should only be 1% at the most!

I can accept that, and it wouldn't partisan, and NOTHING is ever perfect!

What I can't accept is that there can be partisan tampering!

14. Dobbs is still a shill for the GOP

His voter polls lately have been no-brainers. I'm sick of Lou Dobbs and his show. Why doesn't he devote every single program to these voter fraud issues? Instead, he's carping night after night about the GOP issue ... border control. Last year he was whining about outsourcing. I don't care to tune in to Lou Dobbs and I certainly don't want his book!
