I debated as to whether or not to put this in the "Geek-O-Rama" forum and decided to put it here.

Ah, but can you hack them good enough to get our Redjack voted in is the important question?

The main point is that this next election could very well be easily stolen outright just like it has been theorized that the last two were stolen.

This should be spread far and wide--it might well put an end to the use of the voting machines in question. Apart from the fact that the Republicans want them kept in use, which ought to tell us something.

The primary mystery remaining is why there are still so many Republicans. Or, given this information, are there?

paul, i understood the point, i just don't know what we're gonna do about, if someone wants to steal and election in this day and age, i don;t know that anything can stop them. maybe there should be online e-voting that everyone does from their own home computer, or one provived by each voting district for those who don't own computers...all voters still voting in their and being counted in their own region...wouldn;t that create a larger amount of hacking to be done making it more difficult to hack enough to make a difference? or am i way off base. i don;t know, i truly have no clue about this new fangled online stuff. i just hope and pray for a more honest election. that's all i know how to do.
