From the article:"And what can be downloaded can also be uploaded"

Stupid comment, which makes the rest of the article suspect.

But, can't the AP be trusted? Isn't it an objective non-partisan news organization? Some say no. The AP is batting for a Bush presidency. In Online Journal, Stephen Crockett and Al Lawrence, the hosts of Democratic Talk Radio, wrote, "...the Associated Press ran a story that was widely published in newspapers and on the Internet, headlined "Bush Leads Kerry In Electoral Votes," that could have been written by the Bush campaign. The assignment of states to candidates, the headline and the conclusions were all simply wrong. The Associated Press should print a retraction and work to see that it is widely published."

If the AP wants a republican to be elected they are doing a great job of covering it up.

No, this stupid comment makes the rest of the article suspect:

Computer experts say that signals can travel both to and from computerized voting machines through wireless technology, modems, and even simple electricity.

I WANT to trust it (electronic voting)...but in my heart I don't ...maybe I will in the future.

Why this is so difficult I do NOT understand. You register, the day of the election you go to the poll WITH your PICTURE ID, you vote. Wouldn't enforced pic ID cards put a stop to some of this crap? No excuses- no exceptions.

Anyone who listens to any of the news outlets regarding results before they've voted and does not vote b/c of it is foolish. Besides, even if this made sense, as with everything the DNC and its operatives touch, they have the equal chance of turning into shiite just as much if not more than they do of gold.

Kerry/they should just stick their hands in their pockets, quit meddling, and watch their hopes and dreams of the liberal utopia disintegrate on the eve of the 2nd.

The majority of people in this country are too intelligent to elect a guy like Kerry. If not, oh well, there's not much you can do about a stupid mob.

This writer has absolutely no credibility at all. What total nonsense.

Any first year computer science student will tell you this is trash.

I can see that.

I'm sure that they could design a system that actually records our individual votes, but then we'd have that old "secret ballot" issue.

Has anyone ever given thought to a secret ballot? Further, why not preclude ANY state from posting returns until all states have concluded their voting, including Hawaii. In a wierd sort of way, modern voting is like physics, we alter the outcome by observation.

I sure don't trust liberals who plant distrust
and that's what this is.

If they can get enough people to distrust the system
then their disingenuous cries of fraud seem valid.

Karl Rove is no dummy. I'm sure the GOP will have lawyers at the AP feed site.
