This has troubled me since we started down this route. I'll be honest, I don't know the state of play on these machines. I seem to recall the Welfare-Dad outfit, Diebold, being responsible for most of them.

I believe this should be a serious, serious issue for anyone seriously concerned about democracy.

It's not who votes that counts; it's who counts the votes.

this is why the general population was never supposed to vote for the president

Curtis, the man speaking in the video, ran against Feeney in 2006; he is not exactly an unbiased party, here.

seems to me there's something to be said for a paper ballot that is electronically read by a machine (like the old sat/act test forms) .. plus they weed out a lot of the incompetents that can't fill in an oval with a #2 pencil ..

the same could be said for stock trading ... I wonder if slower trades would remove some volatility from the market and also some shady behavior, like naked short selling ..

forgot what show (it was like 60 minutes) but they went inside a firm that has setup comps to look at the market and make an insane number of trades in a second based on projections. This means a move of just a couple of pennies is big bucks to them. It was all computer/math people doing the work with little to no knowledge about the companies. It was a little scary

Hope you're right. I have some issues with the Republicans too, but 4 more years of this guy is frankly scary as hell.

I loved that line in Gangs of New York.

That was a great movie. I enjoyed it. Plus, the older I get, the more I see, the more I believe that quote.

What does this prove, there is corruption in politics and elections?? It's not like this is something new.

the guy didn't say computers are rigging elections. he said he wrote a program that could do it. the problem is that he is wrong and his code is wrorthless.

Have you looked at it? What is he doing, trying to use a rootkit to slip in a piece of malware? I don't imagine that the machines have external ports, and I would imagine they are on an air gap.
