41. VOTESCAM: the stealing of America
"Trust us. If we made this information public, evil hackers could elect anyone they wished. So we'll keep everything secret and you can be sure your votes are counted fairly. Remember, it's certified (just don't ask who is doing the certification, that's secret too.)

Seriously, when some of us started to ask questions re the new touch screen voting machines, the first thing we encountered was a brick wall of secrecy. No information about how the machines worked, no information about the procedures used, nothing. And no one told us a damn thing when we asked. With the discovery of the Diebold FTP site, we got a glimpse of ONE company's software - but that is only one piece of a three piece puzzle:

Software + Hardware + Procedures = A Voting System.

So what does this report say? Well, you may know the software, but you don't know the Hardware and the Procedures, so you can't come to valid conclusions - nayh, nayh, nayh. Sorry, but that begs the question:

If this is a Democracy, why hide how the damn votes are counted."


MAN!!! I'M REREADING THE BOOK VOTESCAM: THE STEALING OF AMERICA.
They went through exactly this same shit at that time!!! -CV
