Cool Stuff: How to Steal an Election
Over at Princeton University they’ve made a demonstration on how easy it is to streal an election with one of the new Electronic Diebold voting machines. Right now electronic voting machines are in roughly 40% of election districts nationwide, another 60% and stealing an entire election will become a snap!
And the best part? without any sort of paper trace, you can steal the election without anyone knowing the difference. The internal memory card will store the incorrect result, and you can even have your vote stealing software delete itself.

2 issues ago, the Rolling Stone’s featured article was on the upcoming election in Ohio, which was stolen by the Republicans in 2004 under the leadership of J. Kenneth Blackwell, then Ohio Secretary of State and now running for the Governorship. This corrupt fascist has now instigated voter id scams, made sure the diebold voter machines aren’t required to have any paper trail and that the easily-fixed machines will be used in a majority of Ohio’s precincts. The people are fighting back with lawsuits some of which have just been decided in their favor in the past few weeks, but he’s still at it with a large bagful of dirty tricks. More on this can be found here (fairnessbybeckerman.blogspot.com/#115498508232273343) and in the pertinent issue of RS.
