Another quote…
we are noticing that in the states with touch screen voting where the Democrats are in control, it is the Republicans that are calling for paper. That’s the case in Georgia, in Maryland, and in my state, in Washington state.
and another…
But we found that not only are the machines error-prone, they’re also tamper-friendly…they actually have multiple points where you can go in and insert something or alter something…there’s been many studies now, both from ordinary citizens and from computer scientists and universities. All of them have been able to penetrate the systems and manipulate elections, and all of them use different attack points.
One more…
I had read that the voting machines were using secret proprietary software, and so I wanted to find out who owned the companies, and as I looked into that, I discovered a Republican senator from Nebraska who was running for office had ownership in the company that was counting his own votes. That’s Chuck Hagel. I couldn’t go to sleep that night.
Frickin 3rd world countries have more secure voting systems than we do … pathetic!
