by Dwight Rousu - Mar. 25, 2009

Gordon exhibits extreme naivety or lack of awareness when he suggests electronic voting fraud has received no news-media attention. Alternative media attention has been extensive, and even some big corporate rich white media has covered it, despite their republican biases. This story does provide some information, but apparently only motivated by the opportunity to demonize Chavez.

Corporate proprietary software with bad control of quality and configuration has been widespread, especially with Diebold/Priemier. Voting and counting systems are hackable. Republicans are widely accused of hacking the vote and boosting vote counts for Bush and downticket Repubicans. Open software and paper ballots are a start.
