Or is it time to oversee a popular vote - 1:1 count, instead of the electorial system in place?<BR/><BR/>And, now we supposedly have Mexican candidates locked in voter fraud issues in their country.<BR/><BR/>The underbelly of e-voting really needs to be exposed.

It is definite...anonymous, you raise a good point. It is definitely an area that would need to be carefully crafted. The two things that could be manipulated are:<BR/><BR/>1) Somebody registers in multiple places, but is not "detected"<BR/>2) Somebody does not register in multiple places but yet a duplicate somehow appears.<BR/><BR/>I guess the concept of "neutral governing body" can always be questioned. The only way is to have oversight from both sides.All_I_Can_Standshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706352699628789787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1152078684749007562006-07-05T01:51:00.000-04:002006-07-05T01:51:00.000-04:00Good plan, Popeye.

You show your hand that you are not interested in fair elections; just winning them. I am all for any kind of audit trail on the machines that you want to throw at them. For exit polls to be valid, though, you would need to poll 100%. Is that feasible? Who is going to oversee the exit polling? So we are going to have people enjoying the privacy of their voting booth and then force them to tell after the fact who they voted for? If they don't want to tell, is less than 100% a valid result? I can just see some union thugs interviewing little old ladies after they come out of the booth asking who they voted for and it better be the right person.<BR/><BR/>You never want to talk about the other rampant forms of voter fraud that need to be addressed. We need:<BR/><BR/> - A required state issued photo ID with proof of citizenship. Don't give me this bunk that they can't afford it, but if they can't then pay for those who can't. That would be taxpayer money well spent.<BR/> - A centralized national voter database to detect multiple registrations and voting.<BR/> - Absentee ballot reform to detect fraud where the actual 'voter' either does not even know of the submission or the 'voter' is too incapacitated to even be aware enough to cast a valid vote.All_I_Can_Standshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706352699628789787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151784549889684682006-07-01T16:09:00.000-04:002006-07-01T16:09:00.000-04:00We were elated at the news of the SCOTUS decision ...We were elated at the news of the SCOTUS decision to slap Georgie upside the head! This ruling benefits everyone instead of just the GOP and Bush pirates. Isn't that what this government is all about?<BR/><BR/>Now if Congress can just get it's act together - edit that to the Repugs get their act together, we'd have something!<BR/><BR/>Oh wait, we have something already. It's called a democracy.<BR/><BR/>It's about time Georgie, Dicky, Rummy, Condi, and the GOPy congress figure it out!!
