Silky_Xlax Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 I've said all along the wild card would be the Diebold machines. Nobody answered my question: do any of you computer wizards know if tampering can be proven after the fact? Yes Butters - tampering can be proven after the fact by reading the programming code - or reverse engineering, if code is not available. However, a really really smart programmer can also erase the "mischevious" code and make it look "innocent" - after the damage has been done. Would the tampering be dumb or smart?

Butterfield 8 Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 quote: Would the tampering be dumb or smart? Thanks, Silky- I don't know the answer. Plunger posted that the machines were all connected to a central computer , implying the possibility of a two-way modem. does that make it "smart" ? ...and if the code were erased by the really smart programmer, could reverse engineering still work?
Dustbowl Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Just read on Drudge that Bush was seen running through the White House with 4 bags of pretzels after he read the first exit polls. Death by pretzel. Strange, but true?
longOnUranus Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Also on Drudge: "FLASH: Scare TIME/CNN building in NYC, suspicious package closes down portion 6th Avenue... Man on ground, police on top of him -- witness... Bomb squad remove large package / suitcase Tue Nov 02 2004 16:03:25 ET"
depends Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 ...a really really smart programmer can also erase the "mischevious" code ... A programmer doesn't have to be very smart to do that. Even I could do that.
Guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Unsubstantiated... I have no idea if this is true or real. I received the following e-mail from a friend of mine: Networks have this info embargoed until at least 8 pm, but here's how it looks right now for the swing states: FL: 52/48 - KERRY OH: 52/47 - KERRY MI: 51/48 - KERRY PA: 58/42 - KERRY IA: 50/48 - KERRY WI: 53/47 - KERRY MN: 57/42 - KERRY NH: 58/41 - KERRY ME: 55/44 - KERRY NM: 49/49 - TIE NV: 48/49 - BUSH CO: 49/50 - BUSH AR: 45/54 - BUSH NC: 47/53 - BUSH And then there is this: Kerry Takes Lead in Online Futures After Poll Reports (Update1) Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Traders reversed bets that George W. Bush would win the U.S. presidential election after Web sites posted what they said were exit polls showing John Kerry leading in battleground states including Florida and Ohio. Contracts betting Bush would win plunged to 28.5 from 57 and Kerry futures jumped to 71 from 43, according to Intrade, an electronic exchange based in Dublin known by its Web site TradeSports.com. Winning contracts climb to 100, paying out $10 on Intrade. Losing contracts fall to zero and expire worthless. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost most of its advance, Treasuries erased losses and the dollar pared its gain against the euro after the reports appeared. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=1...qZKE&refer=home
Guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Early exit polls show Kerry ahead THE SUN HERALD An early cut of the exit polls conducted by CBS shows Sen. John Kerry ahead as a heavy turnout of voters head to the polls in the presidential election. According to the exit polls, Kerry is up by 4 in Florida, Michigan and Ohio and is up by as much as 6 in Wisconsin. By far the largest lead for Kerry is in New Hampshire, where the polls show him leading by 18. President Bush, however, is up by 10 in Arkansas and 2 in Colorado. Iowa shows Kerry and President Bush neck-and-neck. http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/new...cs/10079929.htm

Guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Early Exit Kerry leads. By Jack Shafer Updated Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2004, at 2:49 PM PT The first wave of exit-poll data reaching my desk comes from a variety of sources. In some states the sources disagree about the specific margin by which a candidate leads, but never about which candidate is out in front. Some of the confusion may stem from the mixing of morning exit-poll numbers with early afternoon numbers. With those provisos and the understanding that the early numbers are predictive of nothing without their accompanying computer model, here's what I've heard: Florida Kerry 50 Bush 49 Ohio Kerry 50 Bush 49 Pennsylvania Kerry 54 Bush 45 Wisconsin Kerry 51 Bush 46 Michigan Kerry 51 Bush 47 Minnesota Kerry 58 Bush 40 Nevada Kerry 48 Bush 50 New Mexico Kerry 50 Bush 48 North Carolina Kerry 49 Bush 51 Colorado Kerry 46 Bush 53 http://www.slate.com/id/2109053/
Mars Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 And for gosh sakes be sure to vote if you live in Alaska! Mantanooooska Thunder**** forever! ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Voters in Alaska will decide on Tuesday whether to make their state the first in the country to legalize the sale, possession or use of marijuana by adults. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?t...storyID=6675259 GO ALASKA! Somebody's got to start this snowball. I support that proposal. LOL I forgot to mention that we had paper ballots with marking pens. You draw in the space between two arrows. When we signed in, we got a piece of paper called voter ID to carry thru the voting process. From the Registered Voter Book, the lady removed a sticker with my name and put it on the ID paper. This was cool because if I came back to vote again, ooooops, my sticker was gone. Simple, and effective. After voting, you put your ballot in a protective folder and turn in the voter ID to the next guy and he tears off the ID strip at the top of your ballot. Then, you take your ballot to a recording machine and feed it in. The numbers clicked and showed me as voter #642. Boy was I ever glad we didn't have those Diebold machines. LOL That's the kind of machines we used to have - don't know why they got rid of them they worked well. If you screwed it up you just filled in all of the arrows for one area and the card would be rejected and they'd give you another one. Don't ask me how I know that.
The End Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 One last time. NO president has EVER won re-election with the stock market DOWN in his first term.
