Easy Voting Fraud Machines

[glatt]

These guys are also now reporting that the key to unlock the door of every Diebold machine is the same standard key used to open hotel mini-bars, office furniture, and some other cabinets. It's easy to purchase over the internet. They even link to online stores that sell the key.

WTF? So now I know where to go to get a key to open 10% of the voting machines in the US.

Good thing our elections are never close.

Even if nobody ever committs a fraud with these machines, the perception that they might have will eventually dissolve the perceived legitamacy of our process.That is no small thing. I'm glad we still use pencils here, even if one of our counties' ballot boxes went missing a couple elections back.

I think its a plot to increase voter apathy, personally. What if they held an election and nobody came? George Jr., president for life, anyone?
