Whoa wait a minute. Public property was used for and by a private entity? IS THIS LEGAL? This vote was not open to the public but to a political party. Why couldn’t the Dems (or GOP) by their own machines? Additionally, was or is the constitutional the way they were selected? I mean, why not have a primary election then a general election? On another note, talk about consolidation and streamlining government and eliminating waste, why not do away with the primary elections by have the respective parties nominate their candidate rather than wasting taxpayers money?

Moneyguy,

Seems like SOP to me.

If I were rigging an election, iVotronic would probably be my first choice. Here’s an indepth analysis of security risks inherent in iVotronic systems:

And here’s a summary of issues revolving around previous elections using systems:

Americans need to face the fact that while we still have the right to vote, voting within important elections and districts has become nothing more than a facade to maintain public complacency, while pre-selected candidates are installed based upon their support for policy agenda’s that would never be supported by the general population.

Something else to keep in mind is that the GOP could legitimately use these circumstances to promote Elrod by demanding an investigation and throwing the Dem nomination into disarray. If they don’t do that, it raises the question: Why not?

Ultimately, the solution is to prevent voting from taking place until all major disputes are correclty resolved, to return to paper ballots, and to conduct all ballot counting in public. Anyone can watch. If it takes longer, so be it. We can’t risk compromising our entire system of government for the sake of efficiency.

The machines all have serial numbers, so a switch cannot be made on election day without leaving a trail.

I recall in past years it was not uncommon for Inspectors to have their supplies in their car the night before elections when they have to be up and going before Oh-Dark-30 (even before Abdul wakes up for his radio show! :P ) and get the polling place set up. On some occasions the Inspector’s car would be burglarized and the election supplies swiped.

Watch for those voting machines to make a reappearance in November in close precincts.
