Gaffe casts doubts on electronic voting

[spotbird]

"SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- The strange case of an election tally that appears to have popped up on the Internet hours before polls closed is casting new doubts about the trustworthiness of electronic voting machines."

"During San Luis Obispo County's March 2002 primary, absentee vote tallies were apparently sent to an Internet site operated by Diebold Election Systems Inc., the maker of the voting machines used in the election."

"At least that's what timestamps on digital records showed."

2. Don't know if it will do any good in Imperial Amerika, but HOORAY!

When historians come to perform the post-mortem on the Old American Republic and the Amerikan Empire that followed, let the records show that many MANY good and decent Free American opposed the descent into Orwellian Totalitarianism.

Unless, of course, Emperor George P. Caligula does something wacky like shut the Internet down for a month in order to scrub it and give it a "rebirth".

Anyway, thanks Bev! A True American Patriot of the Old School!
