Numb3rs is doing an election fraud case.

Five dead statisticians. But the auditor indicated the race was clean.

Now they're talking about voting machines. And how statisticians realized the numbers were wrong.

1. Stolen election ON TV
Finally.

The show runs down some of the angles computers can be used to steal elections. Seems as if the producers have been reading DU!

The machine owners have got to be sweating bullets after seeing this show expose how their precious vote stealing computers can steal an election.

It has finally hit the mainstream.

2. It was really cool how they showed exactly how voting machines could be rigged to deliver fraudulent
data. I'd say those writers did some good homework.

I have no idea how popular "Numb3rs" is, but I hope it planted the idea of the danger of the rigability of electronic voting machines in the minds of those who watched it.

3. I'm sure it did
There is no way anyone who watches that show could still think that using computers to count our votes is a good idea.

Using computers to count votes is about the most anti-democratic idea ever developed by the republican party.
