I know that PCR lovers point to his biography: During 1981-82 he served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy. How can conservatives criticize him? He served in the Reagan administration!!!

Did anyone ever wonder why he only lasted 2 years? Maybe they realized he was a huge nutjob and asked him to leave?

Confusion w/ the govt. accounting office (GAO) ???

So...President Gore stole the election from Kerry?

Those fun-loving imps on du say the silliest things.

[CaptRon]

Evidence? There is not one shred of proof in this whole article. It is all speculation and innuendo.

Miller reports incidences of intimidation of, and reduced voting opportunities for, poorer voters who tend to vote Democrat.

Democrats were only allowed to vote once per election and dead Democrats were not allowed to vote at all!

The outcome of the 2004 presidential election has always struck me as strange ...

"... because I did not vote for Bush and do not know anyone who did."

This is GREAT - Will Pitt is BACK!!!

Gotta love those DU moonbats - they keep me amused.

...all I have to say.

This crap drives me crazy.

How the heck can we function if we have no confidence in our electoral system. We can do better.

We should have a way to verify the integrity of the numbers. The problem is obvious: We need a way for a voter to verify that their vote was cast correctly. The easiest way is for the voter to be able to keep their ballot and then go on line to verify that the vote was actually recorded correctly.

But then we open ourselves to voter intimidation, which is unacceptable. Can't you just see the union thugs collecting the ballots to enforce reprisals if incorrect votes were cast?

We should be able to use technology to protect our vote. Something like this:

Each voter is assigned a perminant public key encryption code along with a private key. All votes cast are encrypted and published as an official record. Using a voter's public key, you can figure out which vote is his, but you cannot determine who he voted for. Instead, there is a number that is an encrypted key that the government uses (along with the supervisor of election's private key) to unlock his actual vote for tabulation. The government cannot determine whose vote is being counted with the voter's private key, but they can publish the encrypted number (a very big number) as proof of integrity. Now, suppose the fraud is suspected.

First, there will always be a one to one correspondence between votes cast and encrypted numbers published.

Second, any voter can go to a private booth at the supervisor of elections office, enter the number published in the newspaper (that represents their vote), then enter their private key, and see the vote that was actually tabulated as their vote. If this vote deviates from how the voter thought they voted, a link to the paper ballot can be produced (because the voter is authorizing it) by the supervisor's office and a comparison can be made. You could even take a picture of the person holding up the ballot where the votes can be seen. This image is then encrypted and can only be decrypted by the voter.

This accomplishes privacy, accountability, non-deniability, and a paper trail.

An evil doppelganger has taken over PCR's brain. I used to agree with about every word he wrote but in the past couple of years he's really gone off the rails. Total Loony Toones.

It seems to me these machines are safer than people trying to look at dimpled chads.

And I'd remind the author of this book it is Republicans who are in favor of Voter ID cards and the democrats who are opposed. There is a reason for that, and it has to do with the fraud the Rats try to perpetuate in every election.

GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The chances of exit polls in five states being wrong are no more than one in a million

They weren't wrong, they were just reported before they were properly adjusted to reflect the disparities in the sample demographics vs. the demographics of the people who actually voted.

[Airborne1986]

In 2000, Big Media announces that the polls are closed in Florida when they were still open for another hour on the pan handle. In 2004, Big Media starts leaking out exit polls in the early afternoon on election day that indicate erroneously that Kerry is winning big. Both reports were bogus and both could have had the effect of deterring Bush voters from voting. Coincidence? I think not. And yet, the moonbats accuse of the GOP of stealing elections.

OK. WHo's got the "Oh No, Not this S##t Again" picture.

It’s tough to write when all they give you is crayons.

Did anyone ever wonder why he only lasted 2 years? Maybe they realized he was a huge nutjob and asked him to leave?

He's probably writing this drivel from some cabin way out in the woods in Nowhere, Montana.

[gop_gene]

So Bush has stolen not only one, but TWO elections? And in a row, no less! LOLOL

[Brett66]

Diebold! Diebold! Isn't the chief evidence that the dem didn't win? That's really all it comes down to.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Although Kerry was a poor candidate and evaded the issue most on the public's mind,

"He was otherwise my favorite candidate" That's nice Paul, time for your afternoon pill. That's a good boy! I brought you your jello, lemon, your favorite.

I don't usually read Mr. Roberts, anymore.

I hadn't realized that he'd gone off the deep end.

Perhaps we could take up a collection to get him some medication.
