Kennedy - Salon Dispute about Who Won in Ohio
Hi,
Joan Walsh reasonably bases her, and Salon's, assessment of the Ohio election on "the available facts" to dis-"prove the election was stolen."
I would rather start the Ohio case with the eletronic voting machine. Knowing how computer software works, I can promise a candidate(as someone actually did in Ohio) to deliver the election results in his favor to the accuracy of decimal points, district by district, only on one condition: that there be no printout for later verification.
Following the Walshian logic, it is wrong to conclude that the electronic part of the voting was stolen since there is no available facts showing the software was skewed in favor of one or the other side. But is it right to regard the matter closed and move on when such a fundamental flaw remains unclarified?
