OK. WHY did the Democrats in Congress not take the BBV more seriously
than they did? NONE of them wanted to do anything about them. WHY? We all told them what was going on. WHY didn't they believe us? What's their agenda? I thought they would at least have better hackers than the repukes. Did they think we were exaggerating? Didn't they take Bev Harris seriously? What? What's their damn excuse? They knew about these machines 3 damn years ago!

2. I was reporting on this here in Nevada when it was being shoved
down our throats by the repuke SOS but no one really seemed to listen. Then when the local Repuke County Clerk got the boxes she sweetly told the county, "these can't be hacked, they are never online!" Like we were all blearing idiots.... no one cared or did anything...even Reid probably walked up to one of these and wondered yet voted ....rocking no boats....

3. they couldn't do anything about it
republican control means they get to bring up the bills they want to - meaning they can ignore the electronic voting bills and concerns very easily.

6. Yes they could. They have much power in many states that use it.

Heck, they implemented it in Georga, themselves and booted themselves right out of office with it for the first time since the Reconstruction.

5. There are a lot of people who don't get this.
I have tried to alert/enlighten a number of people about these machines. Most get the glassy-eyed look. Not sure if they think I'm sporting :tinfoilhat: or if they just don't get it, but it definitely didn't resonate with the people I talked to.
