You have got to be kidding me.
Forget Dubai — worry about Smartmatic instead. | link: 62 comments This is one more reason why we need open source voting software. So anyone and everyone can audit what's going on in those machines. Why in the world are our voting machines being programmed in a foreign country to begin with? What kind of madness is that? Especially one that is anti-American!
Bobby Kennedy Jr has a turgid expose at Rolling Stone which purports to blow the lid off the 2004 presidential election by claiming that 350,000 Ohio voters were prevented from reaching the polling stations. This, unsurprisingly, has excited the entire port side of the blogosphere. However, when one begins to read through the argument, supported by a slew of citations but no evidence at all, it sounds like a very tired rehash of all the conspiracy theories we heard between November 2004 and January 2005...Kennedy's lead argument gives readers enough excuse to stop on the first page...And interestingly enough, that's exactly what two research firms looking into the exit poll debacle found...The Confederate Yankee isn't fooled...I note that Kennedy never once mentions Wisconsin, where real election-day dirty tricks and voter fraud occurred and actually resulted in prosecution. Perhaps that's because voter fraud that benefits Democrats fails to interest Kennedy. I look forward to his expose on the 1960 election that made his uncle President. Comments (13)
A BAD REVIEW FROM DAN RIEHL: "NPR debunked it a week ago before it was even published."
Now that the democrats have proven that they cannot win a national election, they have fallen back (in both 2000 and 2004) on the canard that the elections are stolen from them. If you can't win an election, make the public lose confidence in elections. Even NPR had Debunked this last week: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5422642
