Are the voting machines inaccuracy going to be the big surprise?

[underpants]

Just a thought. Hear me out on this.

Both ABC and NBC had reports on how horrible the machines are. We all knew that but seeing MSM cover it and the Republican Governor of Maryland advise people to use absentee ballots instead seems odd.

Maybe I am just paranoid of the MSM and how THEY (them who is not us) surely will do anything to retain control.

I also read an editorial that mentioned the rumors of some great Rove LEGAL maneuver. Could this be it?

Could they declare that the election results are too inaccurate to believe and we have to do the whole thing over? See the conventional wisdom is that the Republicans have tons of funding available (the Four Sisters, Bob Perry) and a sudden drawn out fight would leave the Democrats' banks empty. Plus voter fatigue sets in and only the most devoted O8) would turn back out say 60 or 90 days from now.

Could they actually have the "votes are too important" spin ready to go?

Again just a thought.

1. I think your right

The fact that the MSM is covering this is scary. E-voting has had problems from the beginning and now they cover it; a month before a mid-term election the GOP could lose. They bring it up only after its too late to do anything about it. The only reason we are hearing about it now is so they can use it to challenge election results they don't like.

2. I think you are correct

This has been in my mind for months. If Republicans are able to steal the election undetected, they won't complain about hacking. If they lose, they will claim results are tainted and demand a do-over. Bush could just declare martial law and declare that we won't have anymore elections until we can verify that they are hack-proof. -- Wanet

4. Karl sees the polls we don't see and KNOWS that the Repugs will win

See/hear the Democracy Now iTunes podcast of October 31st. What is even scarier than the Diebold fix is the purging of the voter rolls, compliments of the electronic voting companies.
