Finally, someone tells us the real reason why voting machines are not audited. It’s about time someone testified about this. That said, this guy has a few dubious answers.

#35 it’s more like 120 million, and for many precincts thats less than 1000 votes, so yes.
You could also have a machine count paper ballots.
You know, basic stuff before liberals decided we needed electronic voting, to predictable results. Predictable for all but liberals so upset over Florida.

But that would be an evil liberal *machine*! As I recall that paper ballot counting has its flaws too.
Well, yes of course it has flaws. The liberal flaw is thinking that the new idea will solve things. The end result was predictable, and predicted.
And the conservative flaw is that “the old ways” are *always* better.
If a solution fails, think of a better one. “This solution wasn’t perfect so we were wrong to even try” is fatalistic and stupid on its face.
#41, Lyin’ Mike,
Electronic voting machines were a Republican idea, pushed by the Bush machine in the wake of 9/11 hysteria.
hahahaha, you’re a hoot. I suppose interet votig is a Republican idea too?

Now that Bush’s failed policies have been exposed and is widely viewed disfavorably, they’ve decided he was a progressive all along. Even though they cheered him on when he was in office.
Gotta keep up with the self delusion of the month.
Rigged voting machines simply covers up for the fact that whoever does get elected, they do whatever the most moneyed interests, tell them to do. Party affiliation doesn’t matter.
