12. Good analysis! Part of the problem is the Wired story conflates what
the Green Party has said with what unnamed "voting activists" have said. The Greens refer, in this incident, only to "tampering". Which is pretty much what Ms. Eaton reports happened--that the Triad tech came in and fiddled with the computer. Deliberately. Why is another matter.

A lot of this reminds me of that kid's game, "Whisper down the lane." People paraphrase what others are saying instead of quoting directly, and this leads yet others to faulty conclusions. One thing I really appreciate about this board is that attribution is required--links so that everyone can go see for themselves what was really said, and in what context.
