For the last month, we have been inundated with "evidence" of voting irregularities being shouted from the rooftops, smothering the evidence of voting irregularities. The "evidence" keeps getting more and more obvious from secret tapes of machine logs to to some guy's brother-in-law's neighbor, and the conclusions are getting more and more dire. How is vote suppression and unequal access to to voting going to compete for attention with secret tapes of machine logs?
Apparently, the security on these Black Box Voting systems is so lax, and the technology is so backwards that a mildly retarded child with a cell phone could flip votes from Republicans to Democrats in a few key states.
To which I say: JUST DO IT.
If it is so easy to do it, then do it in the next elections. Expose the errors by committing gross, obvious, unignorable fraud. Break in, add 70,000 votes to each precinct, sit back and enjoy.
Freep the electronic voting machines.
Unfortunately, a lot of the people running around pushing the fraud thing sound like raving lunatics, and it will require something this dramatic to relegitimize the whole Anti-Electronic Voting movement.
Sure it's a federal offense, but what's a few years of prison time, compared to ensuring the sanctity of our democracy? This is an act of civil disobedience that will be widely praised. I, for one, will create TEN different hotmail accounts to sign the electronic petition demanding your release.
