[...] But the GAO report now confirms that electronic voting machines as deployed in 2004 were in fact perfectly engineered to allow a very small number of partisans with minimal computer skills and equipment to shift enough votes to put George W. Bush back in the White House.

Given the growing body of evidence, it appears increasingly clear that's exactly what happened.

The report indicates that Diebold and Triad electronic voting machines were probably exploited to steal as many as four states (Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico) for the Bush/Cheney campaign.  The article particularly notes that the Ohio election was conducted under the auspices of the Ohio Secretary of State who was at the same time working as co-chair of the Bush/Cheney campaign.  The conflict of interest here is clear, obvious, and inexcusable.

to some extent I agree, but people have been saying that for an awful long time. I mean, sure, due process and the holiness of the legal system and all that, great when it works, but I've got the feelign that these people aren't going to ever lose in a court of law. They may throw bushie to the wolves in the end, and but the panc and right wing nutjob crowd aren't going away, nor giving up much- if any- power.

We'll see how it develops. Maybe God will give some useful instructions this time around, heh.
