Thanks. I was aware of this but had forgotten the details. They were trying to manipulate the vote to favor Bush, and this was a part of the claims that the 2000 election was stolen. I’ve said before that I believed this should be further investigated.
This is why I think we need some kind of program to be required that automatically saves all the interactions to the program itself, in a way that can’t be manipulated - or at least in a way where there is public accountability possible. Kind of like a “black box” in airplanes (or at least how I understand a “black box” to be; I could be totally misunderstanding it).
I don’t care if counting the votes takes a month or two to get a final count, paper ballots are the only way to eliminate this threat of vote tampering. The paper ballots could be, by law from Congress, be maintained for six years and then transferred to microfish, as a measn of protecting the recorded votes so investigations could be legitimized. If the 2000 election was stolen by vote fraud, I want people prosecuted. If the 20012 election was stolen, I want hangings. There has to be a reason why the damned Republican’ts didn’t try to do anything about securing the vote when they held the House, the Senate, and the White House. If they were cheating too then I want both sides exposed and hangings to ensue. Sadly, it is no longer true that We The People are the sovereigns of this now dead Republic. The oligrachs now rule and nothing will wrest control from them because they work for someone higher on the gloablist scale such that both parties are thoroughly corrupted and the media is owned by the paymasters.
