I've been watching the recently bubbling stories in the MSM about potential voting machine "problems", wondering a mild WTF? I mean, cries of foul have been met with yawns and "conspiracy theory" dismissals for years. What gives?
Having just read iconoclastic cat's diary on the ABC story

it hit me like a thunderbolt:
they are going to use "disputed electronic voting results" to illegitimate/disqualify/subvert the coming Democratic wave.
Before this I had taken the Republinut comment, by whom I forget at the moment, that the get out the vote efforts would provide a 5-6% swing as a measure of how far they're willing to cheat.
But for those races that are out of hand? Blame the machines.
It would be the absolute cellar of disgusting, democracy destroying, cynical power politics but I have absolutely no doubt that this crew would do it.
This isn't a considered post. This is an OMG reaction based on a lightning bolt insight. I'd love your comments. Did I just go paranoid or do we seriously need to gird ourselves for this?
