Certain state voting systems? Right. And, the hackers will be there to "assist the administrators...as they deter intrusions." Right.

So, if the king puts his hackers in place in swing states and the Democrat wins those swing states, do you think anyone will possibly be suspicious. The king doesn't. I do.

But, the king is also passing a climate treaty which only the Senate can do. Oh, it is so much more convenient having a king, a tyrant, instead of a tripart system with checks and balanced. An unchecked and unbalanced king is wonderful.

And in a few weeks voters will be selecting a new king. Both candidates of the leading parties dream of being king or queen.

The federal government has no authority over state elections or voting.

Obama does respect Americans, to think otherwise is pure partisan nonsense. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they hate you.
We don't have any agreements with Persia.
There's really no purpose in treating Cuba like an enemy.

Asking me a question is not answering my question, you first. Oh, and just so you know, if you are going to claim a Presidential election has been effected you better have some sort of valid investigation to prove it.

Paper ballots carry their own problems. Remember, many of us who voted in Ohio were still using paper ballots in 2004 and there was a lot of funny business going on with them. There were 93,000 spoiled ballots statewide because of shenanigans such as providing voters in Cuyahoga County with ballots that had been pre-punched for the Bush/Cheney ticket. And that is just the beginning.
 
Re: Hackers in Place

There absolutely should be a paper trail when voting so it's possible to recreate the actual vote.
It's not a question if a voting system will be hacked it's when it will be hacked.

My guess would be this is going to be an issue this election. They are starting with the story's about
hacking election programs. Trying to let the feds have more control. That would be a major mistake!!
 
Re: Hackers in Place

If we can't make our voting process secure and elect candidates honestly, then we all lose faith in government. The problem is the democrats have thoroughly corrupted the FBI, the DoJ, the IRS, the EPA. Who are we supposed to trust?

The first and most public warning shot was Al Frankin in Minnesota. Everyone just laughed it off because he was a democrat that was the swing vote to Obamacare. Corruption has consequences.

Leftist liberals are desperate to maintain voter fraud since they know they don't have the support of our citizens. Dead people voting, foreign nationals voting, the Melowese Richardsons voting repeatedly are why the liberals fight against honest elections and work hard to increase the opportunities for fraud and corruption. And the whole time they whine that it isn't real. It would be pitiful if they weren't destroying the country.

"In the eyes of the Obama administration, most Democratic lawmakers, and left-leaning editorial pages across the country, voter fraud is a problem that doesn't exist. Allegations of fraud, they say, are little more than pretexts conjured up by Republicans to justify voter ID laws designed to suppress Democratic turnout.
That argument becomes much harder to make after reading a discussion of the 2008 Minnesota Senate race in "Who's Counting?", a new book by conservative journalist John Fund and former Bush Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky. Although the authors cover the whole range of voter fraud issues, their chapter on Minnesota is enough to convince any skeptic that there are times when voter fraud not only exists but can be critical to the outcome of a critical race."
York: When 1,099 felons vote in race won by 312 ballots | Washington Examiner

"The latest revelations that illegal votes may have given Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) his 312-vote margin of victory in his 2008 Senate race—out of the nearly 3 million votes cast—gives one pause. The fact that 243 people have already been convicted or are awaiting trial on voter fraud underscores a persistent concern that, despite their small share of the vote, ineligible ballots can actually swing results."
Forbes Welcome

"* In the 2004 Washington state governor’s race, the Republican’s early lead was overcome by the miraculous discovery of previously uncounted ballots squirreled away in the Democratic stronghold of Seattle, handing the election to the Democrat.

* In the close governor’s race in Connecticut in 2010, a mysterious shortage of ballots in Bridgeport kept the polls open an extra two hours as allegedly blank ballots were photocopied and handed out in the heavily Democratic city. Dannel Malloy defeated Republican Tom Foley by nearly 7,000 votes statewide — but by almost 14,000 votes in Bridgeport."
Yes, vote fraud’s real | New York Post

Let's all rally to the Democrat Party cheer, "Vote early and vote often." You hear that every "Resurrection Day", when the dead rise up and vote. The Democrat Party tries to make a joke of fraud as they steal elections.

Elections have appeared suspicious since the Romans invented paper ballots. About a minute after they were invented, ballot box stuffing was invented. Trying to get the number of ballots to match the actual number of voters is part of what gave birth to electronic voting.

So paper can't be trusted, electronic can't be trusted, where do we turn?

When Melowese Richardson was convicted of voter fraud and sentenced to five years in prison she was released after eight months and cheered in public as a hero by Democrats. I might suggest one place to start is to let the criminals serve their time.

Woman Convicted of Voter Fraud Honored by Ohio Democrats - Breitbart

And, perhaps we quit allowing Democrats to pass laws enabling voter fraud like motor voter laws, same day registration, ACORN-style registration fraud, and absentee-ballot only voting.

Democrats, who hate secret ballots, rightly see absentee ballots as the general election equivalent of their failed card-check law. Thugs show up at nursing homes and are honored for coercing seniors with Alzheimers to sign already completed ballots. In some states, this is actually legal.

So, you are taking the typical conservative argument that tempering with voting machines and the election process is a right reserved for the states?

It sounds as if you trust the website that feeds you all of these conspiracy theories. My recommendation is you lay off the political porn. I am certain you will see your blood pressure will come down noticably and you might even avert that pre-mature stroke.

I see your right-wing political porn from Breitbart and raise a Daily Kos..... actually, that would be a draw.

End the Scourge of (Fake) GOP Voter Fraud!!

You want an intelligent discussion, trying starting with websites that are for the intelligent. Brietbart is not one.


The point being here is if someone tried to assert a proposition based on an article from Daily Kos, most on the right side would take him apart. Kindly do not be a hypocrite and lead with right-wing political porn.

You are assuming either the Russians or Donald Trump would hack the voting places. The federal government, the Democrats, have already announced their intention to do that.
