Re: [Full-Disclosure] University Researchers Challenge Bush Win In Florida

Paul,

In the case in point, even with the variables you mention, the entire technical 
problem can be reduced to observing how the election officials in various 
places have historically constructed ballots and influence just those that can 
be influenced in just those states where it will matter. The Republican party 
(my party) apparently has advantages over others when it comes to influencing 
the technical details of the design of voting machines. Diebold, for example.

It makes just about as much sense for every regional election office to do 
their ballot construction differently as it does for everyone to create their 
own home grown crypto.

Your point about differences in ballot construction is also a red herring to 
begin with. If you think that there is the same degree of variability with 
ballots in electronic voting machines as there is with legacy ballots, then 
perhaps you are the one who does not know how the process really works with the 
machines in question.

I don't know how to think, Paul. But I have sincerely appreciated all of your 
attempts to teach me how.

You really need to stop making things seem so complicated that the difficulty 
of influencing their behavior or outcome couldn't possibly be surmounted.

Speaking of thinking before posting, you type more words on mailing list 
postings every day than I have original thoughts... How do you do it and get 
work done or live life, too?

Is Texas really *so* dismal a place that there is nothing better to do?

No wonder the Bushes leave for nicer parts as soon as they can.

Regards,

Jason
