"have you?" Oh yes ma'am. Right here in Florida. Front page of the St. Pete Times, one of the best 10 papers in America they say. I use it mostly for the sports pages though. By the thyme I read it I already know the stuff. Peace.

I haven't heard a single solitary peep about the the unreliability of electronic voting machines since then, have you? I guess the mid-term election of 2006 has completely vindicated Diebold. You just have to have a paper trail. Without a paper trail any programmer can rig those machines, whether it is Diebold or those Venezualen owners of the other voting machine manufacterer. How difficult is it to alter the voting by switching the vote count after every one hundred (or any number) votes. Almost any programmer can write code to branch to some part of memory that contain code to alter the vote and then wipe out any trace of that activity. You don't have to be a rocket scientist programmer to be able to do that. If it can be done, then people are going to do it. Maybe both sides were doing it and it cancelled each other out - or that the margin was much too big to overcome.
