Great post!
Unfortunately, those who are programming our vote machines have no clue as to the English language, or to coherent sentence structure kind'a give me the willeys!
Holy shiiite.
I survived last night, Yank, and now read this!!!!!
As if I didn't have enough to be worked up about.
This is NOT GOOD. And wouldn't surprise me at all.
Cahtah and Co. are happy though!
Rough morning?
Solution: just require voting machines to run Open Source software and publish all the code.
Naw, shhh, course not. Where d'ya get such a notion?
I'm dancing in the mustard grass, feeling groovy.
I may be wrong but the post by seastay looks like a computer translation... (babelfish?)..
LOL!
That's their MO: Accuse you opponent, falsely, of doing exactly what YOU are doing.
The little Citgo sticker on them gave it away.
I just got off the phone with Caracas Venezuela. Chavez has ordered that Democrats take back the House and Senate this year!
Oh yeah! You can bet on it! /s
You don't suppose Hugo would support Democrats do you?
I'm glad someone got that. ;o)
Hah!
Great last minute ad:
UBL, Kim Jong Il, Amedinijahd, Chavez, are all voting democrate this Nov. 7th.
Shouldn't you?
The voter would never know he'd just been screwed.
Sequoia Voting Systems is a company based in California. Sequoia is one of the largest providers of electronic voting systems in the US. Some of its main competitors are Diebold Election Systems and Election Systems & Software. Sequoia Voting Systems introduced the Voter Verified Paper Trail (VVPAT) in the US. The VVPAT is a printed copy of an electronic vote, that can be verified by the voter and is saved for audits and/or recounts. It is also known as the Mercuri Method (see Rebecca Mercuri). The VVPAT is considered by many experts to be the simplest and most powerful audit/security mechanism for electronic voting. Today it has become a mandatory requirement in most US jurisdictions. Sequoia has been involved with voting systems for more than 100 years, having invented, at the end of the 19th century, the voting lever machines that are still used today in some US jurisdictions.Smartmatic International is the parent company of Sequoia Voting Systems. Smartmatic International was founded during the late 1990s by two Venezuelan engineers, Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola. Smartmatic designs device-networking technologies, from which different vertical solutions have sprung. One of them is an extremely advanced voting system. Smartmatic claims to have the only fully secure and fully auditable voting technology in the world today. Some controversy has been brought onto them as their technology was used in a recall referendum for president Chavez in 2004. Chavez won by a healthy margin and the opposition cried fraud.

I think we can trust Hugo Chavez to run our elections, don't you?
After all, the elections they ran in Venezuela and Cuba have been models of fairness. Castro usually get 98 per cent of the vote, and Chavez always wins by a healthy margin.
If I am reading correctly it seems that the New York Times is saying that Smarmatic was taken over by Sequoia which is not true.
