Did you see the item on Dobbs where you can buy DiBold mother

[napi21]

boards and sometimes entire voting machines ON EBAY????? I damn near choaked on my dinner when I saw that!!! They showed the Ebay site where is has the image of the motherboard and says it is "BRAND NEW"!

Lou talked about BB voting and some other consumer watchdog groups who have purchased these items online, and another that bought a DiBold optical scan voting machine at a bankruptcy auction!

This whole electronic vothing is absolutely beyond belief!

1. I think it serves Diebold's purpose to make it sound like OUTSIDE HACKING

is the problem so as to distract from the REAL problem of inside manipulation.

2. Maybe, but it still bothers me that anyone can buy this stuff.

I checked Ebay and there are no open auctions right now, but there are at least 2 closed ones for the motherboards.

3. Why they are so easy to hack. What diff does it make who owns them?
