2. New emails revealed about planning of vote computer hacking in Ohio |
|
Edited on Tue Jul-26-11 09:46 AM by JPZenger
The link above describes emails and contracts that have been recently released about how Ohio's vote counting was handled by a Republican contractor. The emails include the asking and answering of questions (before the election) about whether the contractor would be able to alter votes without being discovered.
Worth a read.

Sad that the issue hasn't roused enough concern to move us back to paper ballots.
It scares people so much that we want to pretend we haven't seen someone hack into voting records live on TV and changing votes.
We want to pretend software experts haven't showed us how votes probably had been flipped.
We want to pretend that even though secret software is used and voting machines were subjected to last minute "repairs" and the custody of the machines was rather casual, there is nothing to see here.
We want to pretend it couldn't happen here.
And golly, look-- a Democratic president won so it can't be true.
But also look-- the Republican governors' hit squad also won in some close races. The Tea Party Freshmen were voted in. But that was because too many Democrats stayed home, we were told. I believe that too.
Sad that we cannot be sure.

7. Remember when the hearings had to be in a basement somewhere on Capital Hill... |
|
"Here is one measure of the crisis of our democratic system: the night before Representative Conyers spoke in Cooper Union's subterranean space, he had been consigned, along with eight Democratic lawmakers, to holding hearings on the gravest matter in a democracy--illegal wiretapping of its citizens--in another subterranean space: the basement on Capitol Hill. Conyers held this unofficial (and shamefully under-reported) hearing in a basement because Republicans have refused to hold hearings on the matter. (Kudos to CSPAN for carrying the hearings.)"http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0124-25.htm
