(9,207 posts)In fact, a number of DUers with extensive technical knowledge have taken the time and trouble (and opened themselves up to badmouthing from some quarters for that trouble) to point out that that video is grand-sounding tech gobbledygook.
That's the best argument.
If you don't agree with scientific opinion, the best way to address that isn't to shoot the messengers and throw around insults and insinuations that people were somehow "sent," argue the point in scientific terms. If after attempting to argue that, some of our IT-savvy members have grown impatient when their opinions have been distorted or ignored or dismissed as inconvenient, I can't say I blame them.
If whoever posted that video has any proof of what they claim, they need to make it public as that's the only way deficiencies in the vote-recording system are going to be addressed--or are you happy that any old "hacker" (a.k.a. script kiddie) can supposedly render people's votes invaid? The onus is on them to take this forward if they have anything at all except unfounded allegations.
What proof do you have other than suppositions, some sort of wishful thinking, and an interpretation of Karl Rove looking shifty on TV? It's Karl Rove, for heaven's sake!
