117. Yowzayowzayowza, I didn’t mean to insult you –- I really didn’t think you
were being sincere.

There simply would be no way to make sure all of the machines were functioning honestly.
And once they’re purchased (for millions of dollars) and in place, the voters are stuck with them.

Diebold was supposed to have certified software in all of their machines for California’s 2003 Recall election. They were in 17 counties. When a sampling of the machines was tested after the election, NOT EVEN ONE was found to have certified software.

I’m not advocating for Luddites. The simple fact is that the manufacturers of these machines want to steal elections.
No amount of quality control could possibly twart their efforts.
