4. The last five years, Waukesha Wisconsin, has had a computer
IT specialist, with her penchant for keeping all votes on her private computer in the middle of a mess right now...

heh. wrong person to ask.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Feeney

Feeney's 2006 congressional opponent, Clint Curtis, has previously provided a sworn affidavit alleging that in October 2000, Feeney asked Curtis, then a computer programmer at Yang Enterprises, to design a computer program to falsify touch-screen voting results in Palm Beach County.<19><20> Curtis subsequently passed a polygraph test commissioned by a Washington, D.C. private investigator.<19> A Wired News story noted that Curtis had no direct knowledge of the vote counting software having been used in a public election.<21>

Feeney has claimed that he has no recollection of even meeting Curtis; that he could not have engaged in such a scheme because Palm Beach County did not even consider obtaining touch screen machines until after the 2000 election; and that although Curtis wrote a book in the summer of 2004 accusing Feeney of a wide variety of misconduct, Curtis did not mention the alleged scheme to commit election fraud in the edition published prior to the 2004 election.<19>

In 2006, Curtis ran unsuccessfully against Feeney for the United States congressional seat in Florida's 24th congressional district.<2> He ran again in 2008, losing in the Democratic primary to eventual winner of the seat, Suzanne Kosmas.
.....................................

lie detector test notwithstanding, it would have been better if he would have said something right away instead of waiting nearly four years.

12. well, they say that just to cow and bully people into shutting up.

God forbid one should be a nutty, cranky conspiracy theorist!! You might not be invited to golf at the country club.

Then that way, you can build a legion of bots that will do the work slamming others. Humans are silly little computers themselves. Too often easy to control by group-think.
