I liked the part where she said that the machines were not hooked up to anything like a network or the internet, then in the next answer she talked about how the vote results are MODEM'D to the server. Huh??

OK. Well the modem'd results aren't "official" anyway; the official results come from the PCMCIA cards that are delivered to the central office. That makes me feel better. Not.

So comparing the modem'd results (which are generated from the PCMCIA cards while they are still at the precinct) with the totals on the same PCMCIA cards at the central office is the double check? Please. OK. The actual double check is the memory in the voting station itself. Which would be..... identical to the info on the PCMCIA card. Totally misses the point about where the fraud might occur.

Although that exercise had to be gone through, it didn't seem like the right venue or format for getting the real questons answered. There may need to be a high level roundtable type discussion with experts, so the conversation can flow freely, and lines of thought can be pursued in depth. Fat chance of that happening.

Anyway, good job, good to see you again. Keep up the fight. Never give up.
