(90,565 posts)Judging from some of the replies in this thread, I think this bit of history would really help to explain where those of us are coming from who believe the electronic voting machines have been hacked and will be hacked again.
It took me quite awhile to find part of my old material on my hard drive, and naturally none of the DU links I embedded in it work any more. At DU, after kicking the subject around for some time, on February 5 and 6, 2003 there was quite a long discussion that was so compelling that I copied it and sent it to computer programmer relatives of mine asking if this was possible or if all these folks were wearing tinfoil hats. The answer was yes, it certainly is possible. No tinfoil needed.
Try this (the links don't work for me, but this was the info I copied to file)

Maybe someone else will have better luck.
Bev Harris fell out of favor at DU for very good reasons, but she did some important work in the beginning, so on that basis I recommend this early link.

At this point I realize it's 2 a.m. here and I have to sign off. Sorry my post is not as complete as I had hoped it would be -- but I am hoping that some of the old-timers can take it up so that the current population can learn what's behind our outright hatred of electronic vote-counting. I think it was Stalin who pointed out that it doesn't matter who gets the votes -- it matters who counts the votes.
