Did you know that all voting will be routed through the Pentagon before the votes are tallied? I can imagine the worst when there is the touch screens out of Florida without any way to verify the actual vote. Bush may very well win strictly because of fears about Iraq that him and his administration have placed within the minds of the Christian far right. You cannot argue with people who think that God has chosen Bush to lead. It all smacks of fundamentalist religious pandering since he has the membership lists of all evangelical church members and claims to be in direct contact with Almighty God. James

You don't know anything about those machines. The program keeps three sets of numbers and they are not secure. They can be accessed by modem and are to report the vote tallies. But the 2nd and third backups to the "official" tallies don't have high security and the numbers in them can be changed without anyone being aware. Then the "official" tally can be "lost" (system crash) and the backup (which has been tampered with) can be used in it's place. Newspaper headlines. Diebold machines crash often during elections but back up tallies saved the day. But no one will ever know if the back up was the real vote.
