83. Who's cheating?
Stop and think for a moment. What's the CIA's motto? Plausible deniability.

Most people are self-defensive about their work. If the totals don't match they may think that they are the one who made the mistake. They won't want to BOTH admit their mistake AND have to count the whole damn thng over again. Everyone just wants to get the hell out of there.

Maybe they are to blame. Maybe not. Maybe the software companies aren't even to blame.

What if the Republican party (or a subset) hacked into the vote counting programs without the software companies even knowing it?

I'm not saying its true or even likely. Its true that there must be some people in on it at crucial points in the chain but there's no way of knowing exactly who.


I've never heard a milkman story with a happy ending....
