  1. Woosty, The Puerto Rican vote is huge for Obama. That is the story of the election…. no outreach by the republican party. Quite the opposite is true as a matter of fact but it is not over yet.

  2. last I heard there were just 370 votes separating Romney and Obama here in Florida…shades of ….

  3. Mourdock lost. Now if we can just get the call for Obama in Ohio, Nevada and Iowa.

  5. Obama just got PA and WI. Tammy Baldwin is even more liberal than Elizabeth Warren. She is ahead but they have not called it for her yet. Go democratic women!!!

  6. Darren,

    The links I gave, not the NYTimes one, gives a good rundown on the construction and price picture. The physical security is on the level of OTC medicine packages.

    A hairpin or a paper clip opens it up. The ROMS are jacked in, in not soldered, so the the basic software can be changed in 20 seconds, etc.

    The crypto code is the same on all one manufacturer’s machines. Once accessed and broken all machines are accesible to decrypt attacks.

    I do believe the PA example was a flip the finger demo to us democracy lovers. Glad you got mail where you live.

    TonyC can all this, I believe. I am just quoting the article.

  9. Why is it that in the US the voting machine is the most bug ridden difficult to program piece of software engineering ever? How hard is it to write a voting program? It seems like a college student who knows C++ should have no difficulty doing so.

    In my opinion it almost seems the most incompetent software engineers in America get hired by Diebold / Premier Election Electioneering Solutions and other makers to write voting machine software.

    Might as well just abandon the electronic version and go for punch / paper or mail in ballots.

  10. id707,

    On the Waiting for Democracy thread I posted a good link for HuffPo’s election summary page. If you just want raw data, it’s a very good page.

  12. Malisha, which channel or whatever it is called are you watching. I’m at a loss finding good coverage on the net.
    I ask in hope that they have good net coverage too.

    C-Span, Msnbc, nbc, all bad.

  13. Must be a neophyte programmer. Any programmer worth her salt would have shown a vote for Obama but then recorded it for Obama.

  15. The whole thing is a joke. Just get it rigged enough to send it to the US Supreme Court, who proudly brought us the DeShaney decision, the Dred Scott decision, …

  17. Also, I saw somewhere it looked like Proposition 37 might be defeated. That HAS to be rigged! What people would be AGAINST labeling? Even if you don’t CARE, why would it be bad for the food to be labeled? Wonder if Monsanto owns lots of shares in the voting machine market in California now?

  18. OK, report here from Florida! Pinellas County elections office was calling people THIS MORNING telling them to be sure to vote tomorrow! They apparently had too many people to call yesterday, so put 12,000 people off till this morning to call, without thinking of what they’re message said! But not to worry! IT’S OKAY!!! They called them back and told them not to vote tomorrow after all! (This was as per Yahoo, which I’m assuming was accurate!)

    There are reports of voter machine flipping all over the country; on both sides.

    It doesn’t matter who wins between these two. Without Ron Paul to vote for, there’s no point!

  19. In my county, we all vote by mail. We don’t have to worry about those machines. Other machines, maybe; but, not those.

  20. Computers can be made to lie. Who’d have thunk it! Other than anyone who has any functional knowledge of how computers work.
