reliable indicator of actual votes (hence my suspicions). But that depends on every citizen engaging in good faith, not the rat-fucking stuff advocated by Limpballs and his cohort.

My main reason to doubt the 'Vote Machine Hackers' and their various theories is the results of 2008 and 2012. If the hackers were as all-powerful as theorized, why would Obama have won both times out? I've never seen a convincing explanation of this from the pro-hacker crowd (hence my continuing agnosticism).

Still mindful of Stalin's witticism, though, that "he who casts a vote decides nothing. He who counts the vote decides everything."
