In reply to the discussion: Some thoughts on Anon and hacking and all that (as well as the culture) [View all]defacto7
(14,159 posts)16. No one will ever know
if Anon had anything to do with it; it's all just talk. It's that simple. There is no stealing from the voters. Are the Anons of the US, citizens as well? Do they vote? Do they have vested interests in our America any less than you or I? No. They are doing what they need to do just like the rest of us.
Again, there is a mix up of who Anon is. They are people. They are not making money or remuneration of any kind from their net endeavors; "they" can't, because "they" are not an organization. They are just digital actions.

I think the rich fantasy life comes in imagining Rove wants free and fair elections.

No wonder you think that letter has evidence. You apparently have trouble reading.

I have 15 years experience in IT. But I don't need even that much to know a bunch of BS jargon.

So a 60 page voter strike list in a PDF format has FUCK ALL to do with e-voting/tabulation systems?

Its embarassing to the progressive community. It makes us look like technically illiterate fools.

Its embarassing to entertain blatant ignorance as if it has merit and thats what you are doing.

As usual, you see correction as a denial of the issue and a cause for condescension.

I'd comment on this nonsense, but the OP has me on Ignore, so there's no point.

I would say that it's speculation with many separate facts in support of it.
