105. erm, uhmm, the problem isn't lack of intelligence
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 11:08 AM by Mandate My Ass
It wasn't RW brilliance that allowed them to steal it, it was their unethical tactics and privatization of a public system that isn't overseen by any outside entity, isn't auditable, or subject to any form of government regulation.

Calling vote-counting software proprietary would be laughable if it weren't such a deliberately twisted subversion of the traditional safeguard that was established to honor voter intent. It has somehow become acceptable that the integrity of the vote is now of secondary importance, or more likely of no consequence, compared to shielding corporations from accountability. Meanwhile they strip us of the protections the founding fathers believed to be the basis of a free society, a thorough counting of the votes by the public, and electoral redress.

The horrific thing is we're paying these people to steal something more valuable than money from us, our voice.

Funny how it's the RW that always says if you have nothing to hide.....:mad:
