Has come to pass.
After W stole the election we 'sore loses' warned that rigging elections was going to get worse because no one was held accountable for the rigging in Florida. Al Gore should have never have conceded. We should have had daily rallies until the full count was done.
Since then, all the vote counting has been questionable. Sometimes citizens vote in surprisingly large numbers that the cheat machines are overwhelmed. But no count since 2000 has been completely accurate.
1. When the vote machines first went into service there were many complaints about errors and many countries trashed their voting machines because of the huge error rate. Look back at 2004 and notice the many reports of "errors". It's really odd that the errors were always in the GOP's favor but people be blind.
2. I can't find any info of the error rate being fixed or repaired. There is no evidence those machines are now accurate.
3. Very few states check on the accuracy of the vote count. And usually that is ONLY done when some candidate complains and even then, it's frequently not done 100% because states charge for doing their job of recounting.
4. Jimmy Carter had a system to check accuracy of vote counts through a form of exit polling. (Not the kind of exit polling the corporate media uses.) He frequently was invited to observe elections in other countries. He never applied it to the US. Why?
5. The source code used in those machines is kept secret. Today, most voting system vendors treat any source code they write as confidential and proprietary. The vendors tightly control access to this source code. Election officials use the equipment, but they are normally
not given access to its source code. Candidates, political parties, technical experts, and
interested citizens are normally not given access to voting system source code.....Except for the people in the picture.
6. Federal voting standards require voting system vendors to share their source code with
a testing laboratory selected by the vendor, and the testing labs are supposed to check
that the system complies with the federal standards. However, the testing labs have
come under growing criticism for missing security and reliability problems in deployed
voting systems, and many experts have expressed concerns about the ability of the
testing labs to ensure that voting systems are fit for use.
6. Most states do not receive or
require access to voting source code. There are exceptions.... usually those are red states.
