Originally posted by sh76Two 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.
Is that why pre-election telephone polls by a variety of independent firms are 99% accurate in predicting election results?
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.

But that doesn't account for the media's apathy - then and now.
Originally posted by normbenignMost 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.
