Reply #12: no no ... like i said, no hacking

what i meant before, to continue with the metaphor... If you show everyone the combination to the safe, the safe becomes useless, and therefore a new safe must be figured out.

voting has always relied on a system of trust and a system of security.

at this point, both are in jeopardy.

but there is not enough jeopardy to actually make either the trust or the security worth reevaluating.

now, we have been trying to put the incidents under a microscope for all to see for the past 6 years. It's not working. So, instead of pointing at the incidents and screaming, we actually make the "jeopardy" bigger.

We show how riduculous it is to put our trust into something that has absolutely no worthy security. Therefore forcing the issue.

So... we show everyone the combination to the safe, regardless if anyone ever uses said combination.

(we've been hiding the combination while trying to argue that the safe no longer works... meanwhile it still works for half the population ;) )
