LOGAN, Ohio (AP) -- Election officials watched Monday as a technician repeated a repair he had made to a vote tallying computer, then announced they had found no evidence of any sort of tampering, despite a congressman's request for an FBI probe

Sorry Dim's... you are a waste of time, and tax payers money!

I felt a tremendous disturbance in the force....as though millions of DUmmies suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.....

[Fenris6]

Nooooo! Let it play out a few weeks so more Dems can donate to my "recount" fund...

To the DUmmies, this is simply furhter evidence that the conspiracy was larger than originally thought, and now includes the Green Party.

From what I've heard (this could be wrong or partly wrong, but it's info spread by engineers for the main companies that supply voting machines) the voting machines were each stand-alone machines not linked by a network, so any tampering would have required someone to physically work on each individual machine. The programming of each machine takes quite some time, so someone would have needed to start going and tampering with each machine weeks in advance to get them all sabotaged by election day. And on top of all of that, there are paper copies to substantiate the votes cast, as well as backups to the backups to make sure votes aren't lost and can be verified if need be. Basically, tampering is theoretically possible, but highly improbable. We all knew that already, but knowing how the machines works makes it even more obvious just how desperate and miserably crazy the dems are.

LOL!!! So much for the DU tinfoil moonbats' claim of vote fraud due to computer tampering!

[sticker]

Don't tell them that, they will figure out they are the next targets for the mind control ray

[italianquaker]

Its over call it a day hate to see you melt away this way



Thank God for GW now he can clean up the filthy UN

[demlosers]

Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, has
asked the FBI to investigate possible
election tampering in Ohio.

...had found no evidence of any sort of tampering, despite a congressman's request for an FBI probe.

So it's because Conyers asked for the FBI probe, tampering of the voting machines is assured? Non sequitur AP pukes.

[ghitma]

So, the vast right wing conspiracy got the the repair guy too!

[Ticonderoga34]

The conspiracy now includes the Green Party and that repairman who worked on the voting machines.

Good God, where how far will the Republicans to steal an election! They are soooooo EVIL!
/sarcasm off.

[Fenris6]

Dammit. Somebody ping Buckhead (aka Rove) quickly. We need to seed another conspiracy theory to keep the Rats occupied.

[jimfrommaine]

After all the crap conservatives have taken over the years I'm getting a natural high watching the extreme kooky left go nuts over the election results. This year was pure hell until Novemeber 2nd. Now every day is Christmas.

If they are basically computers, which they are, it's all in the code.

You would have to study to source code very carefully, and make sure the executables correpond to the source, in order to insure that nothing bad is going on. A skillful programmer could easily alter the results with a few hard-to-spot little tweaks.

I was just over at DU. The DUmmies are not letting this (facts) get in their way. They want more recounts. Now Conyers and Olbermann are like gods over there. It is truly pathetic to watch. These guys are so brainwashed that reality is now just a blip on the horizon. How do people like this function in day-to-day life? Oh, that's right. The gov't is supposed to take care of them.

[Fenris6]

"So it's because Conyers asked for the FBI probe, tampering of the voting machines is assured?"

My favorite argument of theirs: "the vote doesn't match the exit polls, ergo the *vote* must be invalid"

[demlosers]

If they are basically computers, which they are, it's all in the code.

Ssshhhhhhhhh! Yes, don't give the Moonbats more ideas ;^)

[Honcho Bongs]

"I was just over at DU ..."

I would urge anyone who has never been to DU to please go visit. They are an incredible lot. They think authoritative source material for their weird assertions is another post from a tinfoil hat DU conspiracy nut.

There is really a stark contrast between FR with the posting of actual news articles and debate, and DU with the posting of wild assertions, crazy blog quotes, and frothing leftist cursing.

Just remember to wash up after visiting DU.

[processing please hold]

We Republicans will control the world don't you know. That's part of our great plan.

So far....all things going as planned....don't forget the secret password.....

[processing please hold]

Let see......ah, I have one. Bush is going to bring before congress new legislation that will give him the power to seek two more terms in office. Presidents will now be able to serve four terms.

Yes....that's it.
