(10,751 posts)...who have read the alleged Anonymous statement and think there COULD be something there.
It is easy to dismiss something because it is not an exact technical description of how things work. But if Anonymous were to use exact technical descriptions, no one would have read it because most people will fall asleep when reading tech specs.
I am not saying one way or the other, we don't have any hard evidence so we cannot make any conclusions. However, we do have video showing Rove making a fool of himself on national television, in a manner eerily reminiscent of the 2004 Ohio results. So it is suggestive. The difference this time is, Obama didn't need Ohio anyway, so in that sense the discussion may be moot.
But what about next time? We do need to be vigilant. First things first: we need to get rid of the voting machines. Voter-verified paper ballots, that's the ticket.
