Powerful Government Accountability Office report confirms key 2004 stolen election findings


http://milwaukee.indymedia.org/en/2005/11/204439.shtml



The latest critical confirmation of key indicators that the election of 2004 was stolen comes in an extremely powerful, penetrating report from the Government Accountability Office that has gotten virtually no mainstream media coverage. The GAO findings are particularly damning when set in the context of an election run in Ohio by a Secretary of State simultaneously working as co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign. Far from what election theft skeptics have long asserted, the GAO findings confirm that the electronic network on which 800,000 Ohio votes were cast was vulnerable enough to allow a a tiny handful of operatives -- or less -- to turn the whole vote count using personal computers operating on relatively simple software.

Let's not forget the fine investigative reporting that is saddly missing

Seems like all the article really says is that the machines could hacked/corrupted and here are some fishy things that are associated with the bush camp therefore they stole the election. Correlation does not equal causation.

Whether anything was stolen or not, I want these vulnerabilities repaired and repaired now.

Paper ballots, please.
