Miami Herald gets letters on "no vote fraud" article
snips from 4 different letters-

...

Re the Nov. 28 front-page article No flaw found in Bush's state win: To get past the horrendous election mess of 2000, The Herald and other media were quick to applaud ''smooth voting'' in Florida. Now The Herald insults us further with a story on three small counties in north Florida that voted for Bush, declaring that this is the proof that the election results are correct.

At the same time we have the audacity to shout ''fraud'' in the Ukrainian vote. At least the Ukrainians have ballots they can count to verify.

...

There has been no serious investigation into the most prevalent voting issue -- how easy it is to hack and gain unauthorized access to the election tabulating computers from remote locations, even overseas, with no detection or tracks. The voter database is a simple Windows file that can be easily modified using Microsoft Access. Grass- roots efforts have found significant evidence and will continue to make progress, but not before more time passes.

...

The Herald investigation found no fraud? Did Herald reporters find the provisional votes that weren't counted? Did they find the machines that counted backward when a certain number of Kerry votes was reached? Did they count the votes that never got to be votes because of intimidation?

...

Honestly, can anyone discount the possibility of rigging votes when the owner of the corporation that made the voting machines is a supporter of Bush? Your opinion calls for uniform standards, nonpartisan election officials, a paper trail and accurate counts. How do you suggest that voters go about doing this? Some concrete suggestions would be helpful.

2. Yeah.
Nice to see that they printed the articles, though I seriously doubt the bastards will do anything about any of it.
