Reply #9: Lots of reasons. I'd say chances are there will be shenagans to put it mildly. [View All]

Not just concern henanigans but for genuine, VOTE STEALING. And as long as America is stupid enough to permit elections on machines that cannot be truly verified and where only the manufacturer's employees have access to the source codes (which is how one would know if the machines were rigged), and as long as we buy our machines from vendors who are ALL GOP loyalists (Diebold, ES&S, etc). then yes. We can assume that there will be shenanigans- in the form of approximately 1 1/2 percent skimming off of many precincts. Not enough to have it be blatantly obvious but enough to tip a close election over to the right. This is why we always need a landslide turnout - to compensate for this probability. Concern doesn't even begin to describe how disturbing this is and has been since they introduced those machines in the early 90s.
