[lbo-talk] Re: that settles it for me: they stole it!

[John Thornton]

He changed the subject thread from "A 'high degree of sophistication' to 
evade detection" which was posted by Leigh Meyers. The post does include 
the citation listed below but it is odd to change the subject and then not 
site the source. Makes it difficult to figure out what is being commented on.
That said I don't understand the snotty e-mail from frank. The author is 
complaining that the foremost manufacturer of voting machines is a staunch 
Republican and a felon convicted of manipulating software illegally for 
personal gain. Not exactly the ideal situation to ensure fair elections. I 
think the probability that the election was rigged on a scale great enough 
to throw the presidency to Bush is minuscule but I am very concerned that 
the means to do this are in fact encoded into machines run by a company 
with the credibility of Diebold. The author correctly complains that this 
appears to give credibility to the "stolen election" conspiracy when in 
fact there appears to be no compelling evidence to support it. I guess 
frank feels that the fact that it could easily have happen but didn't means 
all is well?
