Imagine people in power KNEW E-Voting theft was real.... [View all]

Would they:

1.) Expose it as a huge public scandal, call into question X years of legislation, neutralize $6 billion plus in election infrastructure, and forever destroy people's trust in the election system.

--- or ----

2.) Call a conference and cut a deal that forever insures that at least the major players don't try that shit on each other.

By now too much is known to pretend the issue isn't real. At the same time, I don't expect that we'll ever see a major scandal over this. If anything, I think it will insure the old Two Party system is now set in concrete.
