Of course, you are correct. The truth is the truth and the truth is worth paying attention to, no matter who speaks it.

But the issue is something like the "Cassandra Complex" in which someone tells the truth on a regular basis but is disbelieved on all occasions (Cassandra was cursed by Apollo and got this as her fate). It's from Greek Tragedies. Once people determine that you are unreliable, it doesn't matter what you say, no one listens.

For many, WND is no longer something to heed. Their words are not considered -- their name is enough to "disprove" whatever assertion they make.

Because if your source is crap, you need more investigation to support their supposition. ANY source may get the facts correct, but some need an awful lot of double, triple, etc. checking.

• Do the electronic voting machines use continuous paper tape like the cash register or in the banks' ATM machines for audit trail?
• What's the Operating System of the electronic voting machine?
• How do the machine store the data? Locally in the voting machine or to the server?  What is the format of the stored data?
• Who have access to the electronic voting machine?  Gov't employees (members of SEIU) and specially picked contractors?

If there was an article, we could check if any of their "facts" are "true". Probably aren't though.
