Comments on: Evidence presented in New Jersey e-voting discrepancies

Printed voting audits may help to detect fraud--unless the vendor offers a good excuse.

amazingly stupid

In my precinct, we have optical scan cards. You show up to the
polls, mark your selection on a clear, easy to follow card and slip
it into the machine. The machine tallies up the results, but the
marked ballots are also inside the machine so the results can be
audited. Simple, quick and difficult to rig (not impossible of
course, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfectly secure
anything).

Why do repukes hate something so obvious? Because then they
can't pay off the machine makers to rig the machine to have
some sort of "back door" operation where it rigs the election,
like the one that was discovered here. Paper trails are evil to
them because then you could audit the election and realize it's
been rigged.

This has been PROVEN to anyone still breathing. Repeatedly. The
only question is why people around this country are STUPID
enough to allow the repukes to get away with this crap.

DEMAND an auditable voting process. It's YOUR government
after all, despite all the lies and FUD that fuhrer bushit and his
nazi regime spreads.

Dalkorian,

Why are you accusing Republicans of voter fraud when it's the Democrats who have the well documented history of voter fraud. The Democratic party is also the reason that Civil Rights laws were necessary in the first place since the terrorist wing of the Democratic party (ie. the KKK) used violence and threats of violence to control voters And lets not be fooled by your attempt to paint fascism onto the Republicans either, the Nazi party should be remembered as the "National Socialist Party". Note that middle word in there and be aware that fascism is a part of the socialist movement of the left and not an activity of the right.

Your party likes to paint it's opposition with it's own brush, have you no shame at all?

One thing that disturbs me a lot is the fact that people seems not to care democracy at all. Did you know that Sequoia Voting System is owned by the Government of Venezuela? There is a link between the legal owners of Sequoia (including a guy who is currently being prosecuted by the Federal Justice for being involved in money laundry for the Argentina Government), a company named Smartmatic and the Venezuelan Government?

Since the very beginning, the Bush government is allowing this people to get more and more deeply into the voting system, tampering it to benefit the Republican party. In any case, no company, person or group of people should be able to manipulate an election in any way. But his is what Sequoia is being doing since the voting fraud denounced on 2004 in Florida, an election that granted Mr. Bush his second period.

Until the electoral authorities decide to ban Sequoia (and imprisons it's directive) due the LARGE irregularities found all over every single voting process, democracy in the US (and in Venezuela) will be seriously compromised.

I'm sorry for you guys to have to live with the shadow of fraud due our president Chavez and his economic/political threats with the Republican party (and Bush).
