Whenever someone is taking an exit poll, I tell them different than I voted.

So, what kind of program did he use to keep people from punching the right holes in their cards with the stylus?

I posted this because Dems are known for their cheating.
Between them and the media, I wonder what will happen this fall. Every election year the cheating gets worse.

"A voter compilation program would be a project with 10 different oversight and proofing phases.

unless it is your intention to skew the results. with the chances of success high, and the chances of detection low, and the prize enormous, it isn't a matter of if, but when.

they just can’t get over 2000 ....omg!!!

They're just gearing up for the chorus of "Republicans stole all the November 2010 elections". You know we're going to be hearing that for the next 2 years.

I agree with you

I am a 25 year programmer- if i thought about it i could design a valid electronic voting machine but it WOULD REQUIRE keeping all paper ballots, so you could run them all through again to make sure the totals match

You have to set up all kinds of checks to verify correct processing

I would also add a unique barcode- so anyone could go online to verify their vote was exactly as it was supposed to be (you would keep a stub or something with a matching barcode)

The bottom line being that if there is a glitch, you can run the paper ballots all through again and again

I have never been asked to take an exit pol, but I would do the same as you do.

The final tally would always be what is on the paper and the paper totals should always equal the number of people who physically voted.

Until, that is, a few days have gone by after the vote and the RATs (now knowing how many they need, and how many voters failed to show up at the polls) "find" more boxes of paper ballots that were "misplaced". When that happened in the past, did anyone compare the tally of physical voters with the number of total ballots? I think not!

All those old bats who can track 10 bingo cards simultaneously were flummoxed by a simple punch card.

LOFL!!! How funny is that! And, true.

Perhaps, but all programs I've been involved with ALWAYS had a gigo test where one put in data and knew what the output should be. In one case, we had 15 different data sets which had been analyzed and the output HAD to match or someone had some 'splainin to do.

Of course, anything is possible, some things are just unlikely.

Occam's razor is: Would a democrat lie, or is a huge organization corrupt and are 25 or 30 professional programmers able to keep a secret?

I think democrats lie, steal, cheat, and sodomize each other and wild animals.

Their excuse was that they couldn’t have voted for Buchanan because it’s a heavily Jewish district. Except Buchanan was the Reform Party candidate and the Reform Party candidate for congress in that district in 1998 got roughly the same amount of votes. I guess the saying is wrong. Not EVERYBODY is Jewish.

I had the displeasure of watching the movie “recount” last night on HBO. What a biased joke that flix was.

My brother created a Tornado Stopping Machine in the 4th grade.

But could he create a weather machine like the one that Simon Bar Sinister took to the Moon, or the one later used by Mikkos Cassidine to freeze over Port Charles?

Ours had no disk, just card I/O, but it did have the 128K character core option. The memory cabinet was about the size of a baby elephant, or Rosie O’Donnell on her back.

Wrote my first program on it (”HELLO, WORLD!”) in FORGO during the Camelot era.

Let’s see...

604, 650, 704, 709, 1130, 1401, 1410, 1620; looks plausible.

Then they took a giant leap into the future with the 7040 and the 7090!

OK, so he created the software, but has no knowledge of whether it was used. My BS detector is pegging....

I had a computer programmer tell me once that he had written a program for an auto dealer that would total those long lists of numbers for a new car sale and come up with an answer that was always $250 too high.

He said he never sold it.

Right.
