It doesn't matter. If someone in office really asked this guy to design software to flip an election, it should be national news, even if it was never implemented.
Originally posted by sh76 Is that why pre-election telephone polls by a variety of independent firms are 99% accurate in predicting election results?
Two brothers named Kennedy wrote a book two decades ago called "Vote Scam". Their recommendation way back then was paper ballots, and no voting machine being hooked up to a phone line or any network connection.
After 2000 Florida, massive amounts of money were spent replacing voting machines, but no attention was given to the above recommendations. Both parties like the prospect of cheating.

Sure it does. Give it enough buzz and maybe it gets traction. Most Americans assume politicians to be crooks, except their party. Puleeze! The media is generally in the bag for one side or the other. They enjoy the power they hold to manipulate elections as well.

Most Americans do not assume that politicians are commissioning software to flip elections. They may yawn at voter suppression on the part of Republicans, or pushes for loose ID confirmation rules on the part of Democrats. But this, if there is anything to the testimony, is just a couple of steps below a military coup.
