Wasn't sure whether to believe the Anonymous/Rove story,until the reaction telling us to shut up @it

14. I find the theory plausible. I value Election Integrity above Party.

Historically, election fraud has been around for about two centuries. In Chicago, jokes about "my parents voted Democrat their entire lives, and they haven't stopped just because they are dead!" are old news.

With new technology comes new ways of messing with results. I think anyone who has heard "crazy" concepts like

-- Identity Theft

or

-- Credit Card Theft

or

-- Civil Rights Violations

or watched a movie or television show that involved "hacking" a system has to have at least an inkling that crooks *always* find a new way of robbing people.

What on earth makes *ANYONE* believe that "votes" are more sacred than money? Especially when being in power means $$$ if you can control regulation and enforcement of laws, rules, etc.?

I make my living with computers; I can make them report anything I want, and while I appreciate the "computer programmers have more integrity than a pharmacist!" concept, I also know that people get paid, and don't always pay attention to the consequences of what they do on a day-to-day basis. I am also aware that programmers from other countries are employed by manufacturers thanks to visas, which means "it isn't really treason" especially when it is your job....

Do I think Karl Rove and his minions tried to "steal" the election? Yes. Do I think Obama and Team did an outstanding GOTV effort? YES!

But believing one thing does not mean I can't believe the other.

Elections need to be trustworthy, no matter which party wins.

I support Election Integrity.

I do not support closing one's eyes, covering one's ears, and chanting "la, la, la, I can't HEAR you!" when the topic is broached.

Did he, or didn't he? Don't care - want to make sure NEITHER SIDE can get away with it, EVER.
