(20,085 posts)That's why our newly installed democratic governor overhauled the system with a paper trail in 2005. Remember how the Ohio vote came out in '08 when we helped elect barack Obama?
It's true that if you walk into the Board of Elections and demand to see the paper accounting, they'll tell you to go fuck yourself, but if you go through the proper channels in court, with probable cause and win a hand recount, that can fortunately be done (albeit, at great public expense).
There are- as I explained- laborious procedures to make sure the machines and paper printout match to the last vote, but if we weren't committed to a fair count, we wouldn't volunteer. Trust me when I tell you, I would not have allowed a democrat to cheat at my precinct either, and I'm certain my co-workers felt the same.
There was no hole in the Diebold machines that would allow Karl Rove to change the votes tallied on our machines, and hasn't been since the dark days of governor Bob Taft.
I'm confidently not anywhere near clueless on the procedure for electronic voting in Ohio.
