Reply #71: Diebold provided the hardware and the software with a huge [View All]

security hole in it, suitable for hacking.

But Diebold itself didn't hack the vote. That had to be done by people with access to the computer on election day.

The central tabulator software was able to be changed by thousands of votes at a time, again and again and again.

What I said another time was that we don't need to prove the election was stolen.

What is certain is that the manufacturers of the machines and software left security back door access to vote totals. And that could have been used and can be used in the future.

Others here point out the GAO report, which I haven't looked at, which confirms election theft.

The hole in the software along with the literally thousands of reported irregularities are pretty overwhelming evidence.

The hole in the software was written by Diebold workers at least one of whom was a convict, and not by experts in computer science.

It only involved manipulating the most fundamental of databases in a programming language so simple it is called "Basic."

All I can do is repeat my belief and what I do know.

Why this issue tends to take on the tone of a religious "debate" is puzzling to me. It doesn't bode well for exchange of ideas and reasonable discourse, unfortunately.
