Documenting the Difficulties with Electronic Voting

[peristaltor]

In the last post I made on this forum, I pointed out a recent hardware hack to electronic voting machines here in the United States. As usual, people pointed out that this was an anomaly, that this could not happen in the Real World™, that it is just as important as Acorn (that one stumped me), et cetera ad infinitum ad naseumI say "as usual"

I skimmed through this, it seemed like every case had the republicans fixing the machines, which makes the whole thing not believable.

There is a high correlation between the problem machines - as reported by KING5 news - and the Republican percentages the machines reported.

Unless there was a strong independent, then there's just as well a high correlation with the Democrat percentages.

. . . it seemed like every case had the republicans fixing the machines, which makes the whole thing not believable.

Out of curiosity, why?

Highly partisan, sounds like people were looking for it, the chances that only one side would do it, many times, seems about zero.

[peristaltor]

Interesting. So, if it isn't bi-partisan, it's a conspiracy theory?

Okay. Interesting.

That's somewhere between not really and nowhere close to what I said.

I was baffled about what you said and trying to make sense of it. I apologize for my misinterpretation.

So you said. . . what? Your initial explanation remains baffling.

[notmrgarrison]

1) I never said it was a conspiracy theory. I reserve that term for nutball theories like the moon landings were fake and the Jews and/or Bush were responsible for 9-11. Elections have certainly been tampered with before, and they will be again.

2) I certainly wasn't making a general rule.

3) Your summary left out important info.

[peristaltor]

My summary in the OP? Okay, what info would that be?

I'm still confused here.

Your summary of my comment.
