ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES


I've been privately harping about this issue ever since I first read an article on it about 6 months ago. I personally think that Danablankenhorn also sees the light on this and is as scared as me. Snippets:
There is a huge, ongoing scandal going on that threatens our democracy. With the new electronic voting machines you cannot prove an election wasn't stolen. There is no audit trail.

Just saying that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Imagine how Fox News would react if it knew that some Democrat had stolen the Presidency by manipulating the programming in voting machines, covering his tracks through the lack of an audit trail.

This is the biggest story since Watergate. It is, in fact, bigger than Watergate, much bigger. If Republicans have been manipulating the machines, as Thom Hartmann alleges, they have been systematically destroying the democratic process we've trusted for over 200 years. At minimum you can already prove that they can't prove they're not doing just that -- which is scandal enough.
I may still make it the main emphasis of this blog in the near future.
