What happened to their A?

I_C_Weener: What happened to their A?

They needed the capital to hire a hacker, so the A remains uncapitalized.

Three voting computers were shown to have had a virus and had to be reprogrammed

Did they really have a virus? Or is this like when a computer illiterate person says their computer has a virus, when in reality they just forgot to plug in their machine?

/honest question

Was it the cAPSLOCK virus?

I have no problem with them checking this out. I recall similar problems arising during the 2002 midterm elections. Five Republicans won exactly 18181 votes in their elections.

What's even funnier is that if you take alphabetical substitutions for those numbers (A=1, B=2, etc,) you spell out AHAHA in each one of those elections. Maybe some programmer having a laugh?

What are the chances such a thing could occur naturally, each time in the Republican's favor, in the same election, using the same brand voting machines?

I also recall a story here about a year ago about the Liebold machines being particularly vulnerable to various attacks, including, but not limited to the fact they had farking open SD car slots on them. So yeah, i'm kinda interested in this, myself.

Well, I, for one, am not surprised. Any organization capable of the extraordinary technical sophistication required to come up with the "buy your money in a cashbox in the back yard" scheme would find the implementation of such a virus trivial.

Mr. Hoffman said he doesn't think the three voting machines were tampered. He does, however, ask: "Why didn't they look at all of the machines when they knew the three had a particular computer problem."

Wow. What an unreasonable prick.

to be fair, their's no reason to think that democrats couldn't also stoop to rigging elections, so its worth looking into.

They hired hookers to do their hacking. These ACORN Hooker Hackers must be stopped.

ACORN gave Obama the power to turn America into a Communist/Fascist dictatorship by being a spineless do-nothing apology-machine.

While problems with voting machines should absolutely be looked into, that seems more like a parochial issue. Unless ACORN and the unions were involved. Besides, I've heard that complaining about voting machines, makes you a sore loser, man.

Acorn ate every last nut and left only peanuts in the can of mixed nuts.

Hooker hackers on alpacas; it's all part of the dilly-dally dalai lama llama meme.

And you were so close to winning, too.

so vulnerable that BlackBox Voting trained a chimpanzee to be able to change the election results on the machine untraceably.

Well Obama won so thats all that matters, now if they can get an impeachment everything will be even steven and we can move forward and get some shiat done finally.

Interesting, since I know he put a considerable amount of his own money on the line... and now he's finding problems and heavily soliciting funds... hmm. Intriguing.

Acorn sold me what they advertised as an American-made Stratocaster on ebay.

When it arrived it was one of those POS Messican "Strats". Now, of course, their ignoring my emails.

So vote Republican!

What are you, twelve? Did you post that thinking you were really adding to the discussion, or is it just logorrhea? Hurr hurr, both the same, hurr! Genius. You should get a show on Fox with that kind of sharp perception.

 
Riche 2009-11-20 01:33:03 PM  

We're still using these farked up voting machines?


WHY IN THE FARK ARE WE STILL USING THESE FARKED UP MACHINES?!?!


Seriously-- I was shocked and horrified back in '02 when I found out any local government would ever seriously consider a voting machine design that had no paper trail.

Not only were the horrible machines seriously considered, but they were bought. And used. And are STILL being used, even though the software has shown to be utter shiat.

We should put them all in a big pile and burn them. NOW.


/Goddamnit, I love my country but people here can be so farking STUPID I could scream.

Every vote does count.

read:

The WatertownDailyTimes.com reported Friday that with just 3,072 votes left uncounted, Mr. Owens' win is mathematically insurmountable.

ACORN told my sister she looks fat in her new jeans and now she is inconsolable. INCONSOLABLE!

ACORN trolls Fark threads as "RockIsDead."

Wow, give it up. You lost. And you don't even live in the district.

 
kieran57 2009-11-20 01:36:08 PM  
So they're Haxors too? Is there anything ACORN can't do?

 
TofuTheAlmighty 2009-11-20 01:36:12 PM  
Integrity of the voting process is only important when conservatives lose. Glad that's cleared up.

 
gilgigamesh 2009-11-20 01:36:27 PM  
ACORN followed me into the bathroom and tried to touch my peen0r when I was taking a leak at John's pool party last year.

moralpanic: Wow, give it up. You lost. And you don't even live in the district.

Look, just because someone doesn't live in a particular district, has no clue about what the local issues are, had to be coached by the Club For Growth, doesn't mean that he doesn't automatically deserve to win and any other outcome is the result of ACORN, the unions, and hackers.

Note to future politicians: Go to you local used car dealership. Observe the attire of the owner/sales people of the establishment. Now do the exact opposite with your own appearance.

you are dumb. im not defending reps you moron...especially since its CONSERVATIVE candidate we're talking about in the article.... and i wouldnt vote for him either!

i know you think you're sharp at all, but anyone with a half a brain could see from the beginning that Obama wasn't gonna bring and real "change" at all. nearly every single person he's appointed represenets the old establishment. thats not to say theyre arent any dems who might actually change anything, but you are delusional if you think the vast majority of that party consists of anything but slightly less evil douchebags.
