As usual, some freepers are too quick to mock & deride. This is not good news. No voting system is perfect, but I trust paper ballots that can be verified much more than a machine.

Do you think that this is true? Is there corroborating evidence?

I find it highly unlikely that hotel minibars would all use the same key. Last time I saw one it took the plastic electronic doorkey, not a metal key. Why would the front desk want to keep two sets of keys per room, and what's the point of keying them all the same?

And for the hotel key to have the same stamp as the Diebold key, also is unlikely.

Has Diebold 'fessed up to this, or has some other source said it was true?

I have yet to see a 'machine' or computer that malfunctions only when someone of a certain party votes.

I want to meet whoever wrote that program and just might hire them!!

The current vote fraud setup is based on paper ballots. Look back and see what goes on. A recount is called, and suddenly tallies are fouled up, precinct counts don't match, there are extra votes. So another recount and another until the correct party wins.

This is all based on manipulating paper ballots, swapping around boxes of ballots, and making new ballots while deep-sixing others and faking box tallies, while also manipulating absentees (saving them for last). This is how in Milwaukee, you can have 70,000 voters by tally and 87,000 ballots by count- ops, somebody's faking math was a tad off!

A hard drive, though, gives the same number back every time and there is little room to wiggle or lie.

Remember back in 2000, the video of the recount? Person A looks and says undervote. Hands it to person B, undervote. hands it to person C, who bends it, pokes it, bends it- hanging chad, see? It's now a Gore vote! All based on manipulating paper.

Electronic voting is our masters' collective wet dream.

Paper ballots can be over voted by a election worker and then thrown out. The only solution is honest election judges and honest poll watchers "from our side". I plan to volunteer to be a poll watcher in the Nov. election.
