It’s that time of year. I’ve been doing a lot of talking lately, on a bunch of media outlets. That means I haven’t been able to write and report here as much as I might like of late. In any case, below is one of those appearances, from earlier today, on RT America with anchor Kristine Frazao, in reference to a Christian Science Monitor article from last Friday, by Mark Clayton, accurately headlined: “Could e-voting machines in Election 2012 be hacked? Yes.”
It’s nice to see stories we reported here at The BRAD BLOG as long as six years ago, many of them exclusively, finally covered in mainstream media outlets, as the CS Monitor piece does. It’s also fun to see them quoting the term “sleepover” — in regard to vulnerable voting machines being sent home with poll workers for days or weeks before Election Day — a phrase that this blog has been credited with coining about six years ago as well.
I realize that sounds sarcastic, but I don’t actually mean it that way. If it all leads to more public discussion and awareness of these concerns, even six years late and six days before a Presidential Election, when it is, by and large, too late to do a damned thing about any of it before the election, I’ll take it — no matter how late it comes…
Randi Rhodes lambasted a caller the other day for suggesting that e-voting machines could get hacked/ rigged. dissapointing
The discounting of E-voting “conspiracy garbage” peddled by the liberal talk show hosts is endemic. Markos Moulitsas was asked on Make It Plain (Sirius/XM) about Tagg’s voting machines and he said, “It has never been proven that you can steal votes through E-voting.) So there you have it, it is if they are getting there talking points from central command. It is simply suicidal.
Brad, you didn’t clear your opinion with Chris Redfern (Ohio Chairman of the Dem Party), who was on Ed’s show this morning.
According to Redfern, Ohio has nothing to worry about regarding those machines. He said that they have lots of people on the ground who will burst into action when a voter experiences problems or needs help.
He also didn’t say a word about flipping the results in the wee hours of the morning.
Not. One. Word.
And Ed offered no challenges to what sounded like…malarkey, to me.
So you have nothing to worry about and there’s nothing to see here, so move along, folks, move along.
Those who do not understand that liberals get depressed by these things.
Edward Kennedy had to watch his 2 brothers murdered on TV and had a raging drinking problem.
Ken Griffey Jr during George Bush’s Steroid baseball era was supposed to make a run at Hank Aaron’s HR title that Barry Bonds stole but sat in during games drinking before getting fired because of depression.
The Dixie Chicks were depressed.
There is a reason that suicides and murders go up with Conservative governments like George Bush’s theiving US taxpayers Pirate government.
I can no longer let cons show Elephants flag without steroid tracks on their arms.
Great interview by an intelligent, interested interviewer. Brad, you were fantastic! This appears to me to be a breakthrough event.
Ezekiel… You sure are showing your lack of facts.
But why would you care when it is your party which owns over 75 percent of the electronic voting machines and changing or stealing votes.
The Democrats, my party, own 75 percent of the voting machines? Wow, I guess I have been misreading Brad Blog all these years. I was commenting at what weenies save Thom Hartmann the liberal talkers are on e-voting issues.
