Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

VoteTrustUSA has provided us an excellent article on effective testing of election software. We also have an article on HR-4666, the House bill to slow up the implementation of HAVA. Is the state of Florida manipulating the certification of AutoMARK to ensure it is not used in the state? (February 3, 1959 “The Day The Music Died”)…

      All the RNC has to do is get two to five % of the Democratic voters not to show up, or show up with not enough machines to vote on to win, that makes it pretty easy for them in areas with close polls and without electronic machines

      In areas with the machines thats only 2 to 5 votes per 100, virtually untraceable other than looking like a normal glitch, nobody would even notice, especially if the polls are close

      I suppose if you can’t get to the machines, this is another way to get 1%, screw with the get out the vote phone lines

      Wonder which state they’ll hit in 2008 ?
