I'm disturbed by the unauditable, touch screen voting machines. There's really NO WAY to know if an election is honest or not. The only ones who know all the ins and outs of their operation are their manufacturers. The two largest manufacturers, Diebold and ESS, are owned by two brothers who are both Republicans and major Bush supporters and financial contributors. These are facts.

As a software engineer, I know it would be EASY to program these machines to give you whatever result you wanted, and have it seem kosher. I have no idea if elections since these machines have been used have been honest, and neither does anyone else.

RE:"The republicans still own the mainstream press, and the companys that make vote counting machines. That has been their primary advantage"

You can't actually believe that. Can you? The voting machines? LOL

NBC is owned by GE; ABC by Disney. How much do you want to bet the CEOs of those companies vote GOP?
