"...Prosecutors accused Maiden and Dreamer of secretly reviewing preselected ballots before a public recount on Dec. 16, 2004. They worked behind closed doors for three days to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand, prosecutors said..."

Those two convicts still work for the elections board.

Vote Early, Vote Often

Vote fraud is now far easier to do and far less likely to be detectable, thanks to the electronics.

RATS?

Thank you for posting that as a clickable link. I guess I should've hit enter after I added it to my original comment.

I wonder how long those two will continue to be employed by the board of elections.

The corrupt Democrats will now find it very easy to rig elections with the electronics and get away with it.

This stuff in going to go on until we have uniform national standards for conducting election to Federal office, including open-source software for electronic voting, much greater transparency of the tabulation and reporting process, a centralized, national voter registration system, direct management and oversight by nonpartisan boards of elections instead of elected officials, and stiff and enforced Federal Laws against vote fraud.

That is to say: probably never - corrupt elections are part and parcel of the way both major parties operate and the rigging of elections is a jealously guarded prerogative of local political organizations.

You are exactly right and I agree totally.

It may seem like it's hopeless to improve things, but that had to be how it felt at Valley Forge a couple centuries ago, too, but they kept on.

Our best guarantee of prevention of a lot of vote fraud will be the eradication of the paperless electronics.

probably get promoted, that would be the norm for govt employees

Truthfully I can't tell if they are Democrats or Republican, but they say something about Ohio and Texas. Does not sound good for the Republicans. But the article is not written very good.

About the 20th rehash of the same recycled AP story, this one from Houston, Texas (pot calling kettle?). I suppose it might be worthwhile to gather them all up and see what editorial transformations happened from paper to paper, but that's about it.

[lifelong_republican]

Good point.

[lifelong_republican]

The corrupt Democrats won't even need to arrange for extra people to vote illegally, now that they have the electronics. They can lose votes, switch votes, and add votes with ease and little risk of detection.

[Roccus]

OT
Anything new on that WI sham websites story?

[lifelong_republican]

Well, this story underlines the fact that we really don't want to use 'elections' systems which would depend on the assumption of trustworthiness of those employed by the boards of elections.

The paperless electronics are ideal for vote fraud.
