12. Think they still would've been without the machines?
Think we didn't pick up some seats tonight because the races were close and the machines played their role?

Wanna buy a bridge?

5. The ability to hack these machines and propriatory software is still there.
And still a BIG problem that has to be fixed.

Maybe now we can get something done about it.

6. Diebold Who?
They've announced they're more than likely out of the electronic voting business.

7. I think Diebold had to stop many of the rigging acts.
The combined problems + rigging was too much of a risk to try again. My guess is they said it's not worth it for a midterm.


Alas I still think small scale "editing" of votes have taken place. A FULL trial and blowout of electronic voting machines is needed.

Don't lower your guard just because the system was overwhelmed. They will simply hide till 08 if we do not DEMAND change and justice.

9. The Dem congress will make voting software open source
You underestimate our new power.

Diebold machines are still entirely deiboldable in 2008.

14. Actually attention to this matter prevented theft.
So with all due respect - piss off.

17. Agreed
It was the combined efforts of the massive grassroots efforts that saved USA from another massive theft.

20. Bullshit!
1-4 positive results don't justify unauditable voting machines.

19. Oh, really?

As if a few (albeit far superior) corporate Dems beating a few (albeit far inferior) corporate Repukes were a legitimate defense of unauditable voting machines. Please. :eyes:
