If The Machines Are Hackable Let's Hack Them For The Good Guys

[davidlynch]

Friends, we've been wringing our hands worrying about the voting machines, and it suddenly dawns on me that we can do something about it. It just so happens that I am a software developer, and I know that many of you DUers are as well. Why don't we put our heads together and figure out how to hack the machines so that the good guys (e.g., Democrats, Greens) win? At minimum, a credible threat of a rigged democratic win could provide the necessary motivation to the powers that be to really address this issue once and for all.

1. We're so honest...

we'd either find a way to get caught or confess after the fact if we managed to actually go through with it.

7. I Know, That's Part of the Problem...

But maybe our hacking will counterbalance *their* hacking.

2. well that wouldn't make them the Good Guys anymore, would it?

it's like the Bushies saying "well, sure, we torture a little, but we're the Good Guys, so it's ok"

3. I want fair, transparent and verifiable elections-nothing less will do.

Why do I have the feeling I'm going to be seeing this post on RW blogs in the near future?

6. Once you've hacked an election, you're NOT one of the good guys.
