So what do you do when a voting system you want to use doesn’t meet the standards you have set up? If you are Colorado you certify it anyway and then when questions begin to be asked you change the standards to meet your actions. / “If, as a practical matter, [the electronic voting machines deployed prior to an election] can’t be secured, then perhaps they ought not be used at all. Period. Until the impediment can be removed.” Freddie Oakley, Yolo County Registrar of Voters. / BlackBoxVoting has released the full Hursti II report, unredacted and with more pictures than were taken during the “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre”. / VoterAction has announced they are filing an injunction in California against the use of Diebold TSx machines….

      John

      Good question.

      In cosmetic America what you do is worship the ghost image every election war lord seems to think is watching.

      I mean these election war lords seem to talk to a ghost.

      They sure as hell are not talking to the voting American public who obviously want fair, open, honest, efficient, and democratic elections.

      So their discourse is forged and framed to fit some mythical person they think would listen to their bullsh*t.

      Is it God? Is it their mother, father, brother, sister, boss, or special idol of the week?

      I do not think even those imaginary friends or any one of them is that gullible.

      So, the only thing I can figure John is that these election war lords must be talking to themselves!

      They are that gullible! (they listen to Diebold don’t they)

      John, I’ve been reading the intro and summary of the brennan report. Perhaps my question is answered somewhere in the body of the report (which I’ll probably never get around to reading), but could you explain what’s an “automatic routine audit comparing voter-verified paper records to the electronic record following every election”? I assume its not a recount using the paper trail, otherwise why use the machines in the first place? Thanks for any enlightenment on the matter!

      Wouldn’t you just love to see Columbo drive up in that old car and start to question some of these “public servants!”
