Sounds like self promotion
My understanding is that there are places in Maryland and in Philly where more people vote than are registered to vote. Statistically, it is practically impossible for the high voter percentage in certain Florida districts during the Bush/Gore election, which shows voter fraud but which was reported at high levels of voter turnout, etc. It is all about cheating.
I meant to add that it only takes having someone on the inside of the electioneering process to have the software installed-- and there are a lot of people on the inside (of both ideologies).

The Diebold Code.
I dunno. If it arrived in an envelope, I guarantee you that it is on the Internet. When we locate it, I wonder if we can post it here?
Oh, really? Tell Adobe, AutoDesk, and Microsoft that you have their source code published for free on the Internet. Good luck.
The compiled code is on a portable disk. The disk can be set by sliding a 'lock' so it is read-only. The company supplies a CRC checksum which is a very long number. If you change any one byte anywhere in the code, the CRC will change. You can place the read-only disk in a laptop and within a few seconds run a check on the compiled code. The Democrat can check it. The Republican can check it. Then the disk is inserted into the voting machine. After election close, the disk can be stored and checked anytime in the future.
Ummmm.......yeah.
"Tell Adobe, AutoDesk, and Microsoft"
You misunderstand my point. You cannot cheat in the election simply because you have the written source code for the election machine. It means nothing in and of itself.
LOL!! You're bad
Check it for fingerprints. Compare to members of CREW and you may just get match...
Brilliant! Exactly how is a read-only disk going to "write" the votes? My point is that if the source code is available, someone will write malicious code and run it. Guaranteed.
"dozens of conspirators"
Don't I remember someone in Florida (?) having a ballot box in his car? Could be wrong....
I smell a possible troll...please investigate.
Huh?
This is precisely why there MUST be a paper record of electronic voting. If you have electronic voting without a paper record, where the person can see the paper record of his own vote, then you are asking for manipulation of elections by manipulations of the code.
Indeed, given the whole history of electoral corruption in every nation in the world, including the US, whoever believes that you can have voting done into a black box with no paper check on the black box to verify what was input is what was registered, is naive. Who ever argues against having a paper record is either naive, or very intelligent and knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
Electronic voting without paper backup records for verification is guaranteed to be corrupt, manipulated voting. If the Republicans aren't ALREADY manipulating the electronic voting sans backup paper, the Democrats most certainly WILL when they get power, and then you will never see another Republican majority again, because the machine codes will generate the votes necessary to ensure a Democratic win, and the Democratically-controlled government will never allow the issue to be opened to investigation. End of game. And end of democracy.
That is why everyone should assume that whoever wants electronic voting without any paper backup is intending to commit election fraud. Because they are.
