You, who are the self-proclaimed "fringe", try not to say I Told You So.

The earliest critiques of digital voting booths came from the fringe — disgruntled citizens and scared-senseless computer geeks — but the fears have now risen to the highest levels of government. One by one, states are renouncing the use of touch-screen voting machines. California and Florida decided to get rid of their electronic voting machines last spring, and last month, Colorado decertified about half of its touch-screen devices. Also last month, Jennifer Brunner, the Ohio secretary of state, released a report in the wake of the Cuyahoga crashes arguing that touch-screens “may jeopardize the integrity of the voting process.” She was so worried she is now forcing Cuyahoga to scrap its touch-screen machines and go back to paper-based voting — before the Ohio primary, scheduled for March 4. Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat of Florida, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, have even sponsored a bill that would ban the use of touch-screen machines across the country by 2012.

6. It's gonna take an army of Debra Bowen's, patriots, to get us through this.

12. Thank God for Andy

and the work he did prior to this.:hug:

4. We all fucking told you so and were summarily banished from reasoned discourse

Lots and lots of people who did so, now with egg on their face. Lesson: Never, ever dismiss a conspiracy theory just because it's a "conspiracy theory."

9/11 forum mockers, I'm looking directly at you.

5. Remember when Kos declared that election theft was a forbidden topic?

8. You are right:

What a tool. :eyes:

11. This wasn't a conspiracy theory

It was a cry for caution from knowledgeable individuals who knew how easily these machines can (and probably were) manipulated.
9/11 was orchestrated by Osama Bin Laden.

7. Now, how can we stick it to the MSM for their unrelenting Wall of Silence?

9. Would it were just silence.

In the fall of 2004 the NYT and WaPo were downright
insulting about the statistical concerns about the
exit polls. If I remember right, one of those
articles referenced tinfoil hats.

That's when I realized my country was in big trouble.

10. But doesn't this kind of demolish the theories?

Why would the perpetrators voluntarily remove their own equipment, or allow it to be removed by any means?
