VIRUS in the VOTING MACHINES: Tainted Results in NY-23"

GOUVERNEUR, NY - The computerized voting machines used by many voters in the 23rd district had a computer virus - tainting the results, not just from those machines known to have been infected, but casting doubt on the accuracy of counts retrieved from any of the machines.

Cathleen Rogers, the Democratic Elections Commissioner in Hamilton County stated that they discovered a problem with their voting machines the week prior to the election and that the "virus" was fixed by a Technical Support representative from Dominion, the manufacturer. The Dominion/Sequoia Voting Systems representative "reprogrammed" their machines in time for them to use in the Nov. 3rd Special Election. None of the machines (from the same manufacturer) used in the other counties within the 23rd district were looked at nor were they recertified after the "reprogramming" that occurred in Hamilton County.

Republican Commissioner Judith Peck refused to speculate on whether the code that governs the counts could have been tampered with. She indicated that "as far as I know, the machine in question was not functioning properly and was repaired" by the technician.

har

the Repugs were sure quiet while Diebold fixed the '00, '02 and '04 elections (how about that Saxby Chambliss win in Georgio in '02?!) but now that someone they don't like wins, now their eyes are suddenly open to electronic vote fraud?

what a joke

jeanniedean: ACORN ate my baby daughter. #Acornfacts

My fav's:

#acornfacts - true- nasty acorn infiltrated green bay, wisconsin, master-plot implemented, resulted in brett favre playing for rival vikings.

and

Oh and don't even get me started about Daylight Savings Time. Goddamn ACORN! #acornfacts

WOOT! Brad's just scrolled: ACORN believed to have deleted the 18.5 minutes from Nixon tapes! #acornfacts

maybe NOW they will go for verifiable voting on paper with a clearly supervised chain of custody before counting?

Thank GOD Hoffman didn't win, now that he's REALLY come out of the closet as a NUTCAKE!!! I believe this guy was crazier and nuttier and more radical than portrayed in the "media". I think he was an honest to goodness male Michele Bachmann, probably worse. And he has creepy, googly eyes.

The funny thing is, not that they said the e-vote machines were screwed with...but that ACORN did it!!! Yeah, there were a lot of black people messin' wit duh machines up there. All one of them. Something tells me that if this was a Republican district, there aren't too many blacks there. Did you ever hear of a Republican district with a lot of blacks in it?

I'm not agree that Obama's victory is ACORN's merit. US citizens hoped that new president would stop the wars. Now, when wars continue,people don't like president and look for the reason to get him off the power.

Is there even an ACORN office in the 23rd?

Good catch there Mick.

What I want to know is how many more people showed up to vote being told that they already voted?

I think we're going to have to change the stickers from "I voted" to "I was vetoed"

ACORN killed Jimmy Hoffa.

As a public persona, can't Mr Hoffman be sued for libel over these unsubstantiated (and baseless) public accusations?

How come none of these conspiracy targets on the "perceived" left, never ever sues for defamation or slander? WTF is wrong with people?

COMPANY WITH TIES TO CHAVEZ UPDATED SOFTWARE DAYS BEFORE ELECTION TO “FIX” THE PROBLEM

by John Charlton

(Nov. 19, 2009, 7:00 PM ET) — Nathan Barker of The Gouverner Times has reported a series of facts which seemingly support Dough Hoffman’s allegations that there was massive Election fraud in the special election for the NY-23 House seat:

1. The software used in the voting machines is made by a company controlled by the Venezuelan dictator, Chavez;

2. A virus was found in the machines used in one district, only days before the election;

3. Other districts were not informed of the existence of the virus;

4. The voting machines lack security for introduction of multiple ballots at a time,

5. And election officials lack expertise to determine whether the company’s fix of the problems was done in a manner which returned the voting machines’ capacity to tally impartially election-night results.

Barker reported nearly 3 hours ago that the voting machines used to tally the vote in the NY-23 Congressional district were found to have been infected by a virus only days before the election: Read more here.

Hahaha! No, because THEN they'd have to drop the "ACORN stole the election!" meme.

Lora, too true!

So, e-vote machines can be hacked? You're kidding!!! Hugo Chavez hacked the NY-23, he was up for Owens.

How about: e-vote machines were hackable since they were introduced, NOT just in the Hoffman election! The bigger picture is, you're saying they're hackable. Thanks! They're not just hackable when a Republican loses.

I thought I saw Hugo Chavez with an "Vote for change - Owens" t-shirt on!

AN ACORN WAS EVEN FOUND ON THE GRASSY KNOLL IN DALLAS!!! WEIRD THING THOUGH THERE WAS ONLY A MAPLE TREE THERE.

If helping people to learn how and where to register and then helping them to know when, where and how to vote is stealing, then the HAVA is stealing and it's bi-partisan. By the way, it came about AFTER the theft of the 2000 election which the GOP operatives proudly and loudly announced before hand they would GUARANTEE for George W. Bush. Then, in 2008, those who worked for him in Ohio carried out similar if not many of very the same tactics. Can't call 'em shy!

Al-Qorna is the gravest threat to the American way of life death. Surely they are planning to break KSM out of prison when he comes to NY for rial.

The following US states should immediately be sanctioned for supporting terrorism:

Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, and New Jersey (not to mention D.C., not surprisingly!)

They all have some form of OAK TREE as their state tree.

With an Australian accent...

An ACORN took my baby!

I'm gonna make ACORN dartboards, anti-ACORN bumper stickers and t-shirts, toilet paper, and all manner of knick-knacks disparaging ACORN, sell it to the reich-wingers, and use the proceeds...to fund ACORN!

Arnold, where is the $9 billion Enron owes California for price gouging the state in 2001?
