haha.. And if Bush wins by a landslide in Nov, you know exactly what the cry of “foul!” will be.
“The machines weren’t working!” “They shut them down on purpose!” “I don’t know how to punch a hole in a computer screen!”

Exactly JonB. Diebold’s CEO is a Bush oligarchy spanial and cronie who has publically stated his intention to return Bush to the White House, so the conflict of interest and “credibility chasm” demand close scrutiny of the electronic voting system, (especially Diebold who is also set up in Iraq). The system is flawed and vulverable.

With no paper trail - there is no legitimacy - and no fair tabulation of elections.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
