| Ars Technica: How to steal an election by hacking the vote |
| 2006-10-26 |
 From the intro: When it comes to reporting on electronic voting, it is very difficult to find a good way to convey to the nontechnical public how well and truly messed up the current system is. So now it's time to hit the panic button: in this article, we're going to show you how to steal an election... Yes, purely for informative purposes, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, eh? BTW, is your wife a 'goer?' eh? |

| #15 There was a spate of new voters in Cleveland a couple years back, too. Good to see M. Mouse and Mr. Jive Turkey get on the voting rolls, ya know? (source) |

| #14 Pathetic excuse for a programming language created on a bar bet that you could write an interpreter to handle modem line noise. |

| #12 But Oldspook... these guys taught themselves Perl in 31 days, doesn't that mean they're smarter than the rest of us peons, and have a natural right to rule? |

| #11 The real practitioners of voter fraud are the Dems - the documented cases of it in Wisconsin, Chicago and other places is overwhelmingly Democrat. As a current example, look at ACORN in Missouri (St Louis and KC), under investigation by federal and state officials. Look at the convictions for voter fraud there - 5 Democrat politicians and operatives are in jail for fraud. And now look at how "lefty" the young (ignorant) radical tech community is. Yes there is a possibility of Voter Fraud - but the big threat of it is FROM THE LEFT! |

| #10 This paranoia has been brewing for several years. The Donks have whipped themselves into a frenzy over the election next month and have declared themselves the winner by polls. Now if come November 8th they do not capture the House and Senate they will litigate wherever possible. Can you rig a machine to count votes in a funny manner? Yes indeed you can. You can also send in a bunch of absentee voter forms, register at several precincts, or swap real paper ballots with some pre-voted ones before they go to the official count. We have had several election with the touch screen and electronic voting machines and to date nobody has proven any miscounts or shenanigans. This is all hyperbole so they might gain tractions after they lose, but how many times can they cry wolf before people stop listening? |

| #9 This will be good for the poor little DhimmiDonks, of course, given the insensitive trend toward actually identifying voters as, y'know, citizens 'n stuff. Proves the Pubbies are all Nazis. So they'll go straight to the "counting room" to regain their "rights". The Robin Williams fluff piece, Man of the Year, is all over this. |

| #2 heh. I'm liking the sound of all this fraud and stolen elections! Why? Because if the Dem's were really poised to win, then we'd hear no talk of it whatsoever. |
