Dems say win this election by any means necessary

Interestingly, the group of people most opposed to electronic voting machines are Information Technology Professionals.

From the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR)

"Considering the difficulty of making touchscreen-type voting systems even tolerably trustworthy, it's worth asking if they are actually the best system available for voting. CPSR concludes that these machines are not the best elections systems available, even with the addition of a voter-verifiable paper trail. A voter-verifiable paper trail transforms a dangerous voting system into a mediocre one. America's voting needs can be better met by systems

As a long time IT person I can tell you that I equate voting on an electronic voting machine with either not voting at all (best case) or having my vote stolen (expected case.)

I like voting on a paper ballot with its paper trail that requires a great deal of effort to screw with.

I know paper ballots aren't perfect, but my Luddite self likes my vote to be something tangible that will be there until a human makes a conscious decision to discard it.

This will be very interesting. I don't think the Republican gains will be as massive as they expect, which will prompt them to cry foul, without any proof of course. This will lead to a couple of years, of allegations and investigations.

And what do you think the Dems will do when they lose both houses? There aren't any chads to blame this time.
Just mad as hell voters!!!!!!

People too stupid to vote properly is not a fraud issue. :roll:

Be careful who you call Stupid my friend, we all aren't as bright and bushy tailed as you.

You obviously have missed the "conflict of interest" here...

Would you still be tooting the same horn if Jeb Bush was over seeing the G.W. election?? Be honest.

Yep, Jeb was actually far removed from the process. Granted he could have found someone better than Secretary Barbie to run everything, but I don't hold that against him at all. In fact on the Florida 2000 election I'm more bitter at the Supreme Court than anybody.

There were many Democrats complaining about hackable electronic voting machines in the 2004 and 2008 elections and the Republicans brushed off those allegations that the system could not be hacked, even when it was pretty easy to show exactly how it could be tampered with.

The Dems were also not happy about how Diebold, the biggest player in voting machines that had no real paper trail, was very cozy with the Republican party.

Funny how the same people who were claiming how the system couldn't be corrupted back then are the ones all whining now about that same issue.

Bad apples cheating on each side cancel each other out. We're left with the right result. Carry on...
