First, why in the hell is this still so controversal, and why can’t anyone dispel any of the conspiracy theories?? WHY IS THE SOURCE CODE TO THE VOTING MACHINE SOFTWARE NOT OPENSOURCE??

You all know how I still feel that we had the 04 election stolen, even more so than 2000. More, and more seems to be coming up about these voting machines, and how easy they are to hack. Open one up with a key that goes to your hotel mini-bar? You would think that there would be some oversight on to how these things are happening.

I read one hack, where someone inserted a USB key, and within minutes the voting machine was hacked to “count votes” a certain way.

I have also said, no matter how much we campaign, try, give money, etc, etc.. None of it matters if we cannot even freakin vote. When the hell are the Dems going to do something about this?? Are we going to be taken for a ride again?

WE NEED TO FIX THIS NOW, OR WE ARE ALL WASTING OUR TIME!!!!

Until we can vote with confidence, and without all the tricks that are played, why should we even waste our time and money. This is the “electricity” of our democracy, and without we will continue to live in the dark.

Have a look below at the two articles that recently appeared on digg.com – Anyone who knows me well, knows that I thought the 2004 election was stolen due to the electronic voting machines. Several people have shown how vulnerable they are.

Why don’t we REQUIRE the software for these machines be OpenSource, so the software can properly be audited by any competent computer programmer. What is there to hide? Why do we allow software code peer review when we help other countries out with their elections?

Don’t you want to know what is trying to be hidden?

I can see the code comments now:

/* function to steal the election — Go GOP! */

With some kind of counter that has an algorithm that only counts the Dems votes, every 2 votes, or splits it up some other way.

Wake up America – this is the most important part of our democracy, and there is very, very little oversight on this. Let’s not let this happen again.
