Reply #46: is the law keeping up with the universe of cyber-crime? [View All]

[idealista]

Forgive me if I'm being ignorant here, but ...it sounds like when the suit was separated into 2 suits, now it is the suit against CJ Moyer that is being claimed lacks particularity as to fraud? Did I get that right?

Could it be that they are less ready/prepared to be specific in that suit because 1) they have been working with limitted time and resources, and primarily trying to analyse this from the standpoint of Bush/Cheney, 2) maybe the statistical analyses etc. have not been done to a fare-the-well in regard to the CJ election? 3) Maybe its harder to make a case because the election fraud actually was perpetrated to benefit Bush/Cheney, not so much Moyers?

I also wonder of it is just not a terribly difficult situation, in that the law is probably written on the assumption that it will be easy to know exactly what accusation you are trying to make. But with the non-tangible realities of the cyber world, it may be that you can see statistically that the election result screams "FRAUD!", but without further "discovery" it is very hard to know enough about how it was done, by whom, etc. to satisfy the filing requirement. In other words, the laws are outmoded, the situation is unfair, and the Republican justices will try to take full advantage of that.
