How to Steal an Election

There have been conspiracy theories about the ease with which an election run on electronic balloting machines can be stolen since before the 2004 election. These machines, with no paper trail, with easy to hack security systems and common admin usernames/passwords were a rallying point for many on the left, especially in light of the close vote count in Ohio.

It didn't help when the Chief Executive of Diebolt "promised" Dubbya Ohio and the election.

Well, now the Government Accounting Office (GAO) has released their report on the use of electronic voting machines. In the report they discuss many of the security concerns raised by the left -- and determine that those concerns are completely legitimate.

While this report is going under-reported in the media, The Rock River Times has writen an article and posted it online which details the GAO's findings.
