Black box voting

[ciphergoth]

SoCalDem has done a statistical analysis...on several swing states, and EVERY STATE that has Electronic Voting but no paper trails has an unexplained advantage for Bush of around +5% when comparing exit polls to actual results. In EVERY STATE that has paper audit trails on their E-Voting, the exit poll results match the actual results reported within the margin of error.

At this point I figure it's more important to work to the future rathe r than to figure on fighting it. Strange what a couple days does.

I posted a link to this post, though.

It wouldn't be so much 'add 5% wherever we can find it ' as 'tally the votes normally until vote #x, and then flip one to Bush every Y votes.

Dunno. It's all very disheartening, and the fact that it was this close indicates some major change needed in the Dem message anyway.
