In my precinct, I sign a book, they tear off something from another book, then I give the tear off card to the guy, and I vote.
If the machine changes it 10 minutes later, how was someone to know, unless they were to grab a machine and check the coding.
Or better yet, offer a million-hell, TEN million bucks and immunity, and bring the charges to light.
I don’t know... I can’t imagine three million Republicans passing up a chance to vote Obama out of office, just because Romney appeared to be a dry hump.
I read the Orca story (while watching TV) and I while I thought it interesting, I the whole concept was dubious, and dependent on last minute desperation—I could be wrong, of course...
I agree re: the votes, though supposedly there are still some millions left to be counted nationwide.
And I also agree that electronic votes can be changed—at the machine or the tabulation level. I’m just saying they’d switch the votes rather than drop them altogether.
The Orca fiasco is possibly a factor because it effectively took upwards of 40,000 GOTV volunteers out of circulation and use. That could make a real difference.
