Look, Lebell, I'm not trying to go rounds with numbers this or numbers that, yada, yada, etc.
My concern is allowing private corporations to control the source code of electronic voting machines without a paper trail. Paper trail or not, the source needs to be open and secure (under the hood and physically).
I certainly hope we agree that it doesn't make sense to have private corporations to control our public election results--regardless of which party makes the machines or has a vested interest in the outcome.
That's what I think this article is trying to articulate. I find evidence in the fact that the author doesn't dispute the overall results of the election--that Bush won.
