That Princeton Prof was on FoxNews Morning Show and they did a quick demo on there..
They did a 3 vote quicky election, everyone voted for George..(Washington) and when the count was printed out, George only got one vote, Benedict Arnold got two..
All the software has to do is insure the "selected" candidate recieves the majority of the votes..
If a virus or other program can guarantee that 60% of all votes cast will be for the Dem candidate, that candidate will win the election..
Without a printed (and filed) hard copy of each ballot cast, there is no way to go back and do a recount..
Any voting precinct that does not provide individual hard copies of each voters ballot should be suspect..
Valid point, and it showed me I used the wrong approach.
As we all know, all of these so-called voting glitches occur only in Democratic precincts. Only Democratic voters get disenfranchised.
(a bit of sarcasm to start with)
What I should have said was how could it effect only Democrat precincts. In that case, only those machines that would be used in Democratic precincts would have to be affected, but in order for that to occur, each machine would have to be individually programmed.
Rather hard for me to see that happening.
By the way, I fully support a back up paper trail on electronic voting machines but also believe the number of instances of problems are no more than the number of instances of problems with punch card ballots, or any other voting method.
Still, why do you think the media is now reporting, almost on a daily basis, voting machine 'problems' that all just happen to be in Democratic precincts?
I certainly know that the media carefully picks and chooses every single story shown. And the national media does this always with their agenda in mind.
Well, looks to me like they are laying the groundwork for claims of (ho-hum) voting manipulation and disenfranchisement by those mean, nasty, Republicans after the November elections.
Seems like their confidence in taking over the House is not quite as cocky as before.
