The way this story got talked about last week, I thought it wouldn't be the type of story that would slip off the first page so soon.

This story is no bigger in content yet than a statement like "It's possible to rig an election." Everyone knows it's *possible*, but for the story to be really big, like many seemed to think it was in previous threads on this matter, you have to show that it has been done.

I am willing to believe it has happened on a shocking scale, but this story hasen't yet made the leap from conspiracy theory to "bigger than watergate." I just hope there is more to this story. I was imagining automatic vote changing by party that could be tailored to a district/election embeded in the actual counting software. Just having an extremly bizzar implementation is not enough to convice people that something is wrong here.

I'm upset not because I think you are trying to pull one over on me, I'm upset because I think they are doing exactly what you are implying they are, but they are going to get away with it.

From the way people were talking this up, I thought this story was going to be undeniablely BIG. Now I see it slipping off the first page on DU. If there is no "gotcha" that has yet to be released I doubt this will hit any of the major news outlets.
