Reply #156: That's nice, but all it proves is that the machines are vulnerable

Which everyone knows, and which most people figure is just another example of a politically-motivated government contract resulting in a poor, substandard, and/or defective product or service.

If anything, this video disproves the accounts of vote-switching, because the purpose of the video is to demonstrate how electronic vote-stealing would ACTUALLY be accomplished. The whole point the Princeton group was trying to make is that it would be done quietly and undetectably. Do you honestly think that if someone was going to hack the machines in order to steal votes, they would use software that would alert the voter to the fact that their vote was being switched? If they did that to hundreds or thousands of people, the law of averages states that some young, intrepid voter is gonna get pissed and pull out his/her cell phone to document it...which hasn't happened.

I'm not saying that some of the machines haven't been compromised, but I'm inherently skeptical of the anecdotal Bigfoot sightings that come in from "loyal Democrats" who claim that their voting machine told them "Ha ha, you're voting for a Republican whether you like it or not!"
