Easily Hacked Voting Systems to be Used in MA Special Election for the U.S. Senate

BOSTON, MA - Next Tuesday's Special Election for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts looks to be coming down to the wire. Surprising pundits in what had previously been thought to be a cakewalk for State Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate hoping to fill the seat of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Republican state Senator Scott Brown has come on strong in the final days of the campaign.

But as the election looms, tempers flare, money is poured into the contest from all sides, and Democrats sweat out what should have been a safe seat for them - a Democrat named Kennedy has held that particular seat for more than the last 50 years - questions about whether the election results can be trusted have already emerged in a race where the stakes couldn't be higher.

As the 60th "filibuster-proof" Democratic U.S. Senate seat hangs in the balance - and the party's healthcare reform bill and other key legislative hopes along with it - fears are mounting that the final vote tallies could be as questionable as they were in the recent NY-23 Special Election for the U.S. House. Perhaps even more so.

The electronic voting systems used in Massachusetts are notoriously plagued with problems and vulnerabilities, and are in violation of federal voting system standards. Moreover, they are sold, programmed, and maintained by a company with a disturbing criminal background.

Calling patriots who are computer experts to watch this election along with retired veterans and law enforcement. This is a political war and we must watch the enemies of freedom at all times.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable system for the corrupt D-bag party to employ.

I would not expect anything other than the highest possible level of fraud from this power-mad maniacs.

the fix is in. There’s no way they’ll allow Brown to be declared the winner.

Yes, yes, the best voting machines Hugo Chavez has ever used!

The Kennedy did a lot of business with Hugo. Anyone know if any of the machines came directly from Venezuela?

You just know Obama and ACORN will try to pull some sort of scam.

Scott Brown MUST NOT UNDER ANY Circumstances CONCEDE LIKE DOUG HOFFMAN DID

Do you know if the candidate who doesnt win can demand a recount under any circumstances? or only if the numbers are close?

Yeah, and as consistent as it is, it's ALWAYS in favor of dimocrat's when an election is close, I.E. Washington and Minnesota, and now Massachusetts.

Calling Kurt Hyde, computer AND election systems expert, who is a GOP candidate for the Tx House seat currently held by Myra "I'm Cute!" Crownover.

They are going to try but they may not pull it off. Too many are watching now I think.

Keep the faith but remain vigilant.

As I recall, Venezuela (i.e., Hugo Chavez) bought a voting machine company in Canada.

So, your question should be whether Canadian voting machines will be employed.
