Judge rejects lawsuit's Ohio voting software claim

21. EXACTLY!!!!

How in the hell can it be anything but theory when the patch has not been tested or certified????

Here's a box that has a bomb that is set to go off in 24 hours and somebody says, "It's illegal to bring a box into a public place that could contain a bomb without its being scanned by the legal authorities to find out if it will go off. Therefore, let's set it aside until we can test it as provided for by law."

But the judge says, "I reject your request because you haven't proven that it will go off."

FOR GOD'S SAKE. This is the whole e-voting issue in a nutshell. Every time somebody concerned about election integrity raises the issue of the danger of e-voting and points out that Germany has outlawed voting machines, Ireland has outlawed voting machines as being incompatible with democracy, some wise guy says, "But you don't give any evidence that it has done what you say. Where has it been shown to have stolen an election?"

BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT: With electronic voting machines it's impossible to know since elections are never audited and the codes are proprietary. The only proof you can possibly have is if the bad guys confess or if audits or recounts are routinely done.

BTW there are many many examples of election irregularities that are almost certainly caused by the electronic voting machines going awry. Check out Bradblog's archives.
