ETA: This tactic was attempted to throw the Ohio gubernatorial election in 2006 in favor of Ken Blackwell. The only reason why it backfired was that the votes was rigged to throw the election favor of Blackwell by a certain percentage, but the percentage of voters voting for Strickland exceeded that, so the rigging effort was made worthless.

Blackwell gave Bush Ohio in 2004 so maybe they used the same tactics???


ANY software can be manipulated but there is ALWAYS an audit trail. But any PAPER can be manipulated dare we forget the 'hanging chads' in 2000 as well...
