In all seriousness, why should communities invest millions of dollars in equipment that used about two days a year?
Jeez!
Will the DNC or the ACLU file lawsuits to have this investigation halted?
But consider...

This news report has it's funny side.
Hasn't the LEFT been complaining that Bushes friends are build the voting machines?
Seems it's THEIR friends who are building them.
The dirty truth is that Chavez is controlled by Rove!

According to Latin the Weekly:
The government of Chávez this behind this company. The reality is that the computer science talent Hispanic this on a par of any other group in the world and the technology that is used in the machines to vote is as simple as is used to produce computers and is sufficient evidence that the government of Chávez has a great participation in Smartmatic.
In most of the European countries where machines are used to vote, the codes of programming under public and they can be studied by independent experts who have the knowledge to detect programs that can alter the results. The Supreme Court I dictate that, in the EE.UU., the codes of programming they are deprived property of the companies and therefore they are not subject independent scrutinies. This allows the companies that control the machines to write any type of code in the programming without fear to that the program is escudriñado by independent organizations.
The debate I publish at this moment is on if the machines to vote they must produce a comprobante or not to the voter. Those are few that question the impartiality of the machines in spite of great evidence to the opposite reality is that without having access to the programming code, which demonstrates the comprobante can be different from which the machine was programmed to interpret. The Venezuelans have the capacity to program the results of the elections, without leaving sign some.
The elections of the 2000 undermined the confidence of the electorate in the system. Another scandal on electing results would create chaos in the nation. Our enemies know it and are On guard to do it.

"Our wide-ranging business solutions portfolio includes the latest developments in software, device intelligence and automation to create new and better business opportunities. For example, the Smartmatic Automated Election Systems (SAES) uses the Smartmatic platform for ultra-safe device networking in a voting system that guarantees security, reliability and auditability. Sequoia Voting Systems, acquired by Smartmatic on March 8, 2005, has received widespread acclaim for its successful use of electronic voting systems throughout the U.S., including, in the State of Nevada, the first election in American history featuring a voter-verified paper trail.
A week before the election someone gets concerned? This has been talked about on Brit Hume's show as well as Lou Dobbs show since early this summer.
Solution: just require voting machines to run Open Source software and publish all the code.
The little Citgo sticker on them gave it away.
You don't suppose Hugo would support Democrats do you?
Sequoia Voting Systems is a company based in California. Sequoia is one of the largest providers of electronic voting systems in the US. Some of its main competitors are Diebold Election Systems and Election Systems & Software. Sequoia Voting Systems introduced the Voter Verified Paper Trail (VVPAT) in the US. The VVPAT is a printed copy of an electronic vote, that can be verified by the voter and is saved for audits and/or recounts. It is also known as the Mercuri Method (see Rebecca Mercuri). The VVPAT is considered by many experts to be the simplest and most powerful audit/security mechanism for electronic voting. Today it has become a mandatory requirement in most US jurisdictions. Sequoia has been involved with voting systems for more than 100 years, having invented, at the end of the 19th century, the voting lever machines that are still used today in some US jurisdictions.Smartmatic International is the parent company of Sequoia Voting Systems. Smartmatic International was founded during the late 1990s by two Venezuelan engineers, Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola. Smartmatic designs device-networking technologies, from which different vertical solutions have sprung. One of them is an extremely advanced voting system. Smartmatic claims to have the only fully secure and fully auditable voting technology in the world today. Some controversy has been brought onto them as their technology was used in a recall referendum for president Chavez in 2004. Chavez won by a healthy margin and the opposition cried fraud.
Dems are pretty confident - is this why?
