You know, we should have hacked into the computers that tally

[mikelewis]

the Senator votes. How loud would these Senators scream if they were denied thier right to vote.

1. Too Late

They already got Daschle probably.

[secedeeconomically]

2. It would depend on how their network it setup

[IndyOp]

3. Their network probably has appropriate firewalls - unlike our voting...

[mattclearing]

4. You say the most ridiculous things. Consistently.

eom

[imenja]

6. come on. It's funny

He couldn't have meant it seriously. It's funny.
By the way, what does eom mean?

[mattclearing]

12. This post, maybe, but if you watch this person's posts...

you see a pattern of bait and disappear. Ask leading question about something controversial, watch wackier posters come out of the woodwork, and never respond to them. Suggest something totally ridiculous and wait for people to agree.

I've never seen this poster post something longer than three lines that gave any relevant information about a point of view.

eom is end of message.

[imenja]

14. ok, gotcha

thanks for the definition of eom

13. eom means End Of Message like n/t means No Text. eom

[imenja]

15. gosh, seems unnecessary

to have such a term. It would seem obvious a message was over. Thanks for the clarification. Have wondered that for ages.

[Lost4words]

16. eom or n/t goes in the heading so people wont open empty posts

it is pointless to put in the message box. totaly defeats the purpose.

[myschkin]

5. Yes!

[DELUSIONAL]

7. One day this might happen

except the hackers might be terrorist -- real ones.

The world now knows how easy the vote totals in the US can be manipulated -- next time it might not be a Rove or Rove clone who does this. THEN we will hear the GOP screaming -- Oh boy -- will they scream bloody murder.

To the Editor:

I serve on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers P1583 working group that is drafting the electronic voting equipment standard. The managing director of the I.E.E.E. Standards Association says (letter, Dec. 31) that "the draft standard includes criteria for a voter-verified paper trail performance."

In fact, proposals for verifiable voting records have been rejected out of hand in this committee. As a public relations gesture, the standard includes an addendum that defines, but very specifically does not require, verifiable voting.

Current electronic voting machines cannot be proved trustworthy because they are unauditable. When totals on these machines differ from exit poll projections, we have no empirical way to determine which numbers are correct.

Concerns about voting technology are sometimes painted as sore-loser griping. But when equipment can be unauditably rigged, election results will be bought by organized criminals and terrorists, not just politicians.

9. From Wills blog it sounded like the votes were being switched.

apparently the GOP was having trouble with the buttons.
Or they are diebold machines.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

wondered if they had a paper trail. He's 14.
