A laboratory test shows how Diebold machines can be easily manipulated. And Alaska’s Diebold machines, banned in California, can be manipulated in a similar way. Read about that HERE. Why did Alaska’s Lt. Governor certify a hand count of Murkowski’s ballots but certified a Diebold machine count of Miller’s ballots? And why did the Lt. Governor refuse Miller’s repeated requests that he be allowed, at his own cost, to conduct a hand count?

It could be one of the most disturbing e-voting machine hacks to date.
Voting machines used by as many as a quarter of American voters heading to the polls in 2012 can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th grade science education, according to computer science and security experts at the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The experts say the newly developed hack could change voting results while leaving absolutely no trace of the manipulation behind.
“We believe these man-in-the-middle attacks are potentially possible on a wide variety of electronic voting machines,” said Roger Johnston, leader of the assessment team “We think we can do similar things on pretty much every electronic voting machine.”
The Argonne Lab, run by the Department of Energy, has the mission of conducting scientific research to meet national needs. The Diebold Accuvote voting system used in the study was loaned to the lab’s scientists by VelvetRevolution.us, of which the Brad Blog is a co-founder. Velvet Revolution received the machine from a former Diebold contractor.

I WOULDN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, OR ANY OTHER OBAMA GOV'T AGENCY.
The ease of hacking into these machines has been known for years. Perhaps now the general public will begin to give some serious attention to how fragile, and probably how their votes have been used to keep certain elected officials in office, and to appoint others who are not qualified. The Republican Party in Alaska leaves a lot to be desired, and this is the case in several other states; as for the Democrats, most of us know they rig most elections, and the greater the number of Democrats, the greater is the assured fixing of elections. I would suggest other reader peruse the Brad Blog site, and look at the history of all these machines, regardless of the sites political leanings. Your vote, your election; if you wish them to count, then put out some effort or don't complain when the criminal class is re-elected.
Diebold can be manipulated from satellie, and there is a program to reverse the election results while the election begins. Many believe that McCain and Palin were actually elected in 2008.
Now that Solynrda and Pelosi's brothers bogus green solar firm, Operation Fast and Furious and Operation Gun Runner at al are being investigated, it is also time to recount the 2008 presidential election votes — I am very happy that McCain is not in the office but the sad reality of the potential of Obscumbo usurping the office through bogus voting machine hacking requires that we set the entire record straight — I foresee a bunch of politicians permanently imprisoned for high crimes against our nation and the Constitution — And if one scoffs at the Constitution then that person doesnt belong anywhere near our system of governance – There were recalls in many states so how about a new presidential tally?
Obama bud Chavez makes Voting machines in Venezuela. Think about this. Let it sink in.
While I lived in Florida we punchd ot lllittle chads. The LAW said they must be a clean punch or they could not be counted. It worked fine for a long time. Then I moved to Georgia and we had to vote with a soft lead pencil, Any pens in your pcket were taking away untill after you voted(boy did we get some trash in then) now we hhhhhave a voting machine that is as safe and fair as the pencil. Lets go back to the law that the law that says CLEAN break.
It stands to reason that the only thing Obscumbo and his minions are good at is cheating, so that's how they'll try to win the election: fry the electronic voting machines. I'll just bet they've already hired "people" to just that. Maybe that's why manual ones should be the rule, or the genuine security at the busier polling places should be beefed up.
I don't know what machines they use in Nevada, however in Boulder City, it was said that no matter who you voted for it came out as Harry Reid . It was in the news for awhile, then all of a sudden, you heard no more about it. The Democrats will use any trick in the book to get elected, but what is so amazing, is how STUPID the general public is, who would vote for people like Obama, Reid, & Pelosi in the first place. Many incumbant Republicans aren't any better, & will stoop to low levels to get re-elected. Incumbants of both parties have to go.These people are traitors.
Germany has gone back to paper ballots. Canada has paper ballots. The USA deserves the more trustworthy paper ballot system, too.
