(...) No Botox needed. Listen, Tom, if anyone produces concrete evidence ie facts and not just partisan conspiracy theories, than I am "all in". Instead, it seems that it's too easy for the left to just speculate from the hip and shoot away in a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) The current administration effectively owns the code now, and they're not going to let anyone see it. Open source is the only acceptable solution in this application. (20 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I don't trust Diebold, that's true, but I wouldn't trust any company in the same situation, even an avowed Liberal company. Diebold is on record promising to deliver Ohio's votes to the President in 2004, and lo and behold... In addition, I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Yeah, there's gotta be a way. Or, maybe the code is owned by the government and Diebold merely provides the hardware? I'm no expert in this area, but it seems to me that electronic voting shouldn't be such a huge issue. JOHN (20 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Well, I am not beholden to Diebold for anything. It seems to me that the bottom line is that you don't trust them, not the equipment they produce. Companies will always have some bias, either left or right; that is a given. What doesn't follow (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Of course you're not guaranteed, but you could do some 50/50 chance stuff. Imagine if one candidate is ahead in the polls with 75% of the vote (Sven), compared to another candidate with 25% (Twiggy). It could be argued that Twiggy has no (...)

(...) That only assumes that the machine can't rig it during the individual vote. Once the votes are cast and the moderator goes to the machine, how do we verify that Candidate A really got 7,500 votes and Candidate B really got 2,500? (...) Oh, I (...)

It would be like a double-blind study. Surely you aren't implying that the (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
