45. Answer to your statements
With regard to whether or not Curtis' testimony referred to the 2004 elections, it just seems to me that that would be a reasonable assumption. I suppose that it could have referred to 2002, but if that was the case, why would such a program be used for 2002 but not 2004?

I don't see why Feeney would have to be an idiot to do what he did. Was Nixon an idiot because he got caught with the W H tapes? Criminals get caught, either because they're careless or for other reasons. And Feeney didn't even get caught (maybe he knew the system would protect him).

I don't know enough about writing vote switching programs to know how to answer your observation that they should have programmed it so that the voter wouldn't see it. Maybe they meant to do that, but it didn't work as well as it was expected to? Maybe that was the best that could be done with those machines. In any event, whatever the case, it seems to me that it must have cost Kerry hundreds, or more likely thousands of votes. And nobody got caught (yet). So it worked (so far).
