Wasn't Jimmah responsible for monitoring that fiasco?

And Jimmah' has certified the winner, but then again, he never met a dictator he didn't like.

I've seen nothing about this except on the Internet. The major media has completely embargoed the story.

Professional courtesy among leftists, I suppose.

Democrats keep telling us how easy it is to mess with electronic voting

Electronic voting isn't a bad idea - purely electronic tabulation of votes is a terrible idea, as any computer security pro will tell you. It's a dangerous solution to a misstated problem.

I really don't understand the fascination with electronic voting. Here in Canada, we still have the paper and pencil ballots, and it would seem to me that the physical evidence of the vote that this produces is far more valuable than any benefit automation might have- especially in a nation where there is the likelyhood of vote fraud- which is to say, all of them at one time or another.

Mark my words, the Democrats will complain about whichever method is used unless it produces the result they want, in which case they'll flout it as being beyond scrutiny. Well, that is until they lose, at which point they'll demand it be replaced with yet another system.

"Whoever casts the votes decide nothing.
Whoever counts the votes decides everything."
-- Comrade Josef Stalin

Supposedly, the count matches the exit polls.

Hard to see how they would fix that.

On the other hand, I always liked paper ballots. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Harry:

But the results are the opposite of the exit polls, so it looks like they just reversed the tallies. That would have been easy.

Not how I heard it. Got a reference?

Not that I care. People should be allowed to misgovern themselves.

Mr. Eager;

The benefit of modern electronic voting is that you can easily fix the counts after the fact. You don't have to do any stuffing before hand.

b-b-but the election has to be legitimate, Jimmy Carter himself said so, and no two bit dictator, ever pulled anything over on Jimmy Carter, right? I mean no dictator but the Ayatollah, right, I mean no dictator but the Ayatollah, and Noriega... err I mean no dictator but the Ayatollah, Noriega and Kim Jong Il.. errr nevermind.

Harry:

All it takes is one algorithm. A $19 Casio calculator could be programmed to give you whatever result is desired (and it would look kosher).

I agree with you - I don't know why paper ballots aren't widely used. So the results don't come out until 1:00 AM? Big deal. At least there would be some incentive for people on the West Coast to keep voting.
