That is funny...and would be even funnier if it weren't for the vast Left-wing conspiracy that has actually made sigificant headway in conning the American news media into believing that Diebold IS actually trying to steal elections.
As a former Assistant Secretary of State of California for Bruce McPherson, I have seen first-hand these voting systems scrutinized under the harshest testing environments, as well as real-world use, with a 0% error rate on Election Day, aside from a few paper jams which printed the paper trail receipt, no different than you or I would have with our home computer. Can't be more airtight than that, folks. It has been proven time and again that electronic systems are, without a doubt, far superior to paper ballots. Need I revisit the "hanging chads" argument to convince anyone?
The fact is that Liberals like paper ballots because, frankly, it's easier to cheat with paper ballots. (Apparently those liberals were so busy studying fine art and basket weaving, that they missed the computer classes, so computers ain't exactly their strong suit). One only needs to point to the missing ballot boxes found inside a church just days after the 2000 election, and the missing ballot boxes found in the trunk of a democratic elected official in Florida in 2000, to name a few!
Unfortunately, California's democratic Secretary of State Debra Bowen has bought into this wild theory of paranoia and, so sit hundreds of millions of dollars in electronic voting systems in warehouses in California. State government at its finest!
