Today the House Science Committee held hearings on the voluntary voting systems guidelines (VVSG). “We’ve seen security defects that allow a single person with insider access and some technical knowledge could switch votes, perhaps undetected, and potentially swing an election,” Prof. David Wagner testified. “These problems should be weeded out by the independent testing process, but it is clear that this system isn’t working.” / “We’re looking at every aspect of elections,” said Donetta Davidson, a member of the Election Assistance Commission. “We haven’t found any problems with equipment. The problems we find are human error. The more elections officials train their people, the fewer problems we will have.” Meanwhile hearings are being held around the country to find out why machines failed and what needs to be done to fix them….

Well isn’t that just dandy,..
Here we are bench testing and test marketing these junk-box electronic voting machines in real time elections.
I would say come about 2010 or 2012 after democracy has been totally subverted,.. the bugs of miscounts,
error prone miscalculations, and mis-tabulations of
our votes inherent to these junk-boxes,.. will be pretty much all worked out.
Then we can have a grand celebration,.. for the demise of democracy and the resurrection of FASCISM.
Get out the party hats,.. someone should start blowing up the balloons,.. will somebody please hire a big dance band.
What a nice Nazi Reunion Party,.. this get together
will be. Our election process is headed for the trash bins – Hip-hip-hurrah.
From the looks of it the EAC is a big fake-out also, paid off by the vote machine makers, they never even try to answer any of the main questions, they just bury them with the old “peoples fault” meme
I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, with a couple of nastys on board their committee, but not now
#1, Old Turk, Right On
#0 John Gideon, thanks
Dredd, did you see what Jen found over at CCN ?
From ms in la ?
It starting to look like Southworth is almost in bed with Bush, LITERALLY, She copied it to Voting news for July 10th thread
The nepotism flunky that needed a job theory might hold up in the end
New post, check this out
“head over to Brad ONE more time!
“Roy Southworth”– Google away
He’s an Economic Hit Man- a real one! and if you’d read the book you would really be in awe— he’s the exact prototype of Perkins!
Started in Peace Corps in Addis Abbaba (sp?) in the 70’s and worked his way up to the World Bank and began moving where the pipelines were being installed. Is now in the republic of Georgia (Tblisi) (as in pipeline), and arrived there “just before the Rose Revolution”… how convenient! (jackals)
He is the country manager in Georgia and has now racked up near $1 Billion in debt. World Bank debt. Last scam was to set up the Avian Flu preparations– This from the report’s suggestions:
(B) strengthening National Public Health Surveillance Systems by improving year-round surveillance;
And this:
Georgia joined the World Bank in 1993. Since then, the commitments to the country total approximately ——US $816 million——- for 40 operations.
The whole COEHM nine yards, it goes on and on.
The other Southworth gang (Carrie and Coddy) had their wedding dinner at the White HOuse Blue Room, George and Laura attended, sounded positively ducky. This from one of the family members in attendance;
“At 9:30, the president stood to address the group, then excused himself by saying, ‘A few of us have to get up and go to work in the morning…'”
heh heh heh”
That comment #4 I posted an hour before 2&3
ooooo weeee ooooo
That EAC comment keeps moving down, WTF ?
John, I read your link to the article about experts telling congress what needs to be done (re-link here).
When are we going to acknowledge, even on this blog, that complaining about the problem is decades old, and soooooo yesterday (link here, and here)?
When are we going to tell it like it is as RFK, Jr. recently did in an interview done by Joy:
(link here, bold added).
And we can trace certification of these cursed machines to republican operatives:

The decades-old, lame, tired, time-worn, ill fated, and not-working practices of the past have to go!
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has
identified 125 ways electronic voting machines can be compromised/altered to produce an incorrect result.
The US House of Representatives is in no rush to take corrective actions to return integrity to the vote counting process.
Adoption of standards not to take effect until 2010 – and then will only be voluntary
if the states choose to enact the standards.
Link to article,..Here
2010 – before corrective actions,.. by then democracy will be only a quaint concept in our memory.
Old Turk, that article sure fell down the memory hole pretty quick, that sucker should have been top billing for days on raw, kind of important, ya know ?

I still have not positivly proven ms in la (from Jen) … have you?
There are so many Southworth’s on the net … but if there is a true connection, then I agree that it is a major find. A nugget.
