Nicole, So what do you think, hanging chads?

Just coicidentally, the company that owns the electronic voting machines now used in California (and many other states), also happens to be own and run by some very right wing folks who also happen to be huge Republican donors. There have been several elections recently that have mysteriously had strange or unpredicted outcomes -- including one election where the OWNER of the company that sold the voting machines surprisingly won his election at the last minute, in defiance of the exit polls.

I know how easy it is to tamper with computers. And yet, these machines have no paper trail and no independant oversight of their security programming. If someone hasn't tampered with an election yet, they will very soon... and we may not even know about it for sure.
