From the article:"And what can be downloaded can also be uploaded"

Stupid comment, which makes the rest of the article suspect.

But, can't the AP be trusted? Isn't it an objective non-partisan news organization? Some say no. The AP is batting for a Bush presidency. In Online Journal, Stephen Crockett and Al Lawrence, the hosts of Democratic Talk Radio, wrote, "...the Associated Press ran a story that was widely published in newspapers and on the Internet, headlined "Bush Leads Kerry In Electoral Votes," that could have been written by the Bush campaign. The assignment of states to candidates, the headline and the conclusions were all simply wrong. The Associated Press should print a retraction and work to see that it is widely published."

If the AP wants a republican to be elected they are doing a great job of covering it up.

I WANT to trust it (electronic voting)...but in my heart I don't ...maybe I will in the future.

Why this is so difficult I do NOT understand. You register, the day of the election you go to the poll WITH your PICTURE ID, you vote. Wouldn't enforced pic ID cards put a stop to some of this crap? No excuses- no exceptions.

Anyone who listens to any of the news outlets regarding results before they've voted and does not vote b/c of it is foolish. Besides, even if this made sense, as with everything the DNC and its operatives touch, they have the equal chance of turning into shiite just as much if not more than they do of gold.

Kerry/they should just stick their hands in their pockets, quit meddling, and watch their hopes and dreams of the liberal utopia disintegrate on the eve of the 2nd.

The majority of people in this country are too intelligent to elect a guy like Kerry. If not, oh well, there's not much you can do about a stupid mob.

This writer has absolutely no credibility at all. What total nonsense.

Any first year computer science student will tell you this is trash.

I can see that.

I'm sure that they could design a system that actually records our individual votes, but then we'd have that old "secret ballot" issue.

I sure don't trust liberals who plant distrust
and that's what this is.

If they can get enough people to distrust the system
then their disingenuous cries of fraud seem valid.

Karl Rove is no dummy. I'm sure the GOP will have lawyers at the AP feed site.

This article may be left leaning and planting the seeds of discord in the election but does anyone doubt that voting and counting those votes with a computer cannot be rigged one way or the other?

I am sure there is fraud and cheating with the paper ballot but at least there is a record. With the way things are going we will soon turn over all our votes to a computer and I prefer a paper trail even if it takes two days to count.

These guys evidently know some computer experts that like to mess with their heads. I'd never dream of that, of course.

FemEcoNazi: "Mr. Drill, we hear that signals can travel between voting machines using simple electricity. Is this true?"

BtD: "Why yes, my dear. It's a well-known fact that all the 802.x protocols are heavily dependent on electric particles that travel through the wires at high pressures. If their flow is restricted by Republican ethernet waves they form little clumps called "packets." Now, you hear about "lost packets" all the time, but have you ever heard of anyone even trying to find them again? I thought not. And that's why Gore lost the election."

Yeah, right. The AP hates Bush's guts, which is why they joined with CBS is in the fake memos story. If anything, they are going to fix it for Kerry.

"never heard before practice"

That is an absolute lie. I recall specifically seeing articles posted here prior to the 2000 election where AlGore had won the vote a couple of weeks beforehand. I'm sure it's in the archives here somewhere.
