“...which can pass changes to each other like a virus as each is programmed for a particular election.”
%%%%%%
Can a camera’s memory card carry a “virus” to another camera? Each Voting Unit memory card is distinct, separate, locked and sealed inside each unit. A paper record is printed out at the beginning of the day, showing all vote counters at zero; the “zero record” remains attached inside the machine and the totals are printed out before the memory card is ever removed from the individual machine at the end of the election day. I have worked with these machines for 6 years.
The polls were spot on for the Republicans. Something stinks, and it’s not Bill’s cigar.
Why, simply insert this in the secret location -- 10011100010000
The tears were indeed fake. But it was done for a reason other than what has been talked about in the press.
The Clintons stole the election by busing in a huge amount of voters who registered on the day of the primary. They also had volunteers drift into New Hampshire during the previous 30 days and register.
Also, the phony story that was fed to the press of various precients running out of ballots was really a cover for throwing out Obama votes and adding pre-signed ballots for Clinton.
They knew that they had to make the press look elsewhere for a reason that there was a 13% difference in pre-polling numbers and the actual outcome. So they came up with the fake tears story line.
This may still come back to haunt them. Soros, who is backing Obama, is really the one putting up the money for the Kucinich recount. None of the other candidates can do it because it would be seen as paranoia. If Obama wins, Kucinich has been promised a Supreme Court seat.
I dunno. I'm too busy popping pop corn. This is gonna be a very amusing show.
* democrats do it to themselves... that makes my mind's eye ache.
I seem to be at odds with the majority of freepers here. I doubt there was any “election theft” involved, but I would be doing an audit in a minute in this situation if I were the state election official in charge.
Programming glitches happen. Ballot design for optical scanners is not completely foolproof. I’d get a few voting districts and hand count the results— as I understand that Kucinich requested.
If I were the guy in New Hampshire, and particularly if I were the guy at Diebold, I would be way out front on this move. If there is much more delay and then there turns out to be a problem, the state and the company will look like they are covering up and everybody involved is going to lose their jobs. Much better to be on the side of conducting the investigation.
“After all the pi$$ing and moaning about Bush stealing the election from Gore”
They were only pissing and moaning about that election because the dems had rigged that election for gore to win, but they didn’t count on the election being a landslide so they only did a 3 for 1 transfer of votes instead of 4 to 1. So they were “certain” he must have stolen it.
Interesting observation, truthfreedom. I looked at the results by city/town. Clearly there was a focus on the balloting at the larger cities. Manchester, Nashua, Salem, and Rochester contributed 7471 more votes to Hillary than Obama, which is essentially the margin of victory (7667 votes). Makes you wonder if those buses made roving stops around NH.
LOL - that’ll mess with their heads
Perhaps you should send a note to the Kucinich campaign.
Today, Obama was the defrauded one, next time it will be the Republicans. A snake is a snake.
Kerry was right? Seriously now... if it turns out these machines HAVE been rigged, not just the New Hampshire primary will fall under the microscope. Let’s hope not - I have no wish to revisit the battles of the last 2 elections.
If there was hanky-panky, that's probably the answer. Hillary's surprise margin would come from the cities because that's where someone minded to cheat would bus in the ringers.
Biometric identification is coming. We'll use it first for office and banking security. It will filter out to the ATM's. Eventually we'll be "signing" our credit card purchases with a thumbprint. Then we'll use it for voting. The democrats will argue that this would unconstitutionally burden the poor and minorities who disproportionately don't have thumbs, but we'll just have to win that case when we come to it.
I don’t think the machines were rigged, but neither do I have any particular affection for them. What I AM sick and tired of is democrat conspiracy-mongers beating up on Republicans about Diebold. The big push for the new machines came from the dims themselves, who believe that they are disproportionately handicapped by voter error and fouled ballots. I suspect they’re right about that. The point of the new machines is to idiot proof the process through automation.
All they have to do is bring in some extra ballots, which they did.
Here in Indy in the 2006 election, the people at our polling station claimed the machine that counted the vote wasn’t working. They had us drop our marked ballot in a box below.
I have always wondered if they ever made it into the machine.
That is precisely what happened. Independents are so stupid that they couldn't figure out they don't have enough numbers to give a victory to BOTH Obama and McCain. After seeing the polls showing Obama with a huge lead (based on polling of independents), they voted for McCain who was in a tighter race. That shift gave the victory to Clinton.
It is that simple.
That theory is the best fit. She cried to cover the theft. Clinton's are masters of illusion and misdirection. Will be interesting to see what they will do the next time their backs are against the wall. Perhaps Bill will cry ?
According to that theory, a vote for McCain, was a vote for Hillary.
Vans, not buses.
