Snerk. I love The Onion.

Sometimes it hits so close to the truth, I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

We Floridians are ditching the Diebold paperless machines we purchased for the re-election of Jeb Bush's big brother in 2004. The still-Republican legislative majority has determined that "people need to know every vote counts."

Amongst us geeks there have been dougts about the Diebold machines since they came out. There is no way to verify a vote.

If it doesn't produce a paper trail it is crapware!

Or Bushware. Depends on the purpose.

It can be corrupted by either side

Quit acting like the Dems in Chicago have ever held an honest election
"every vote counts" some a few dozen times

Mighty white of them at this late date, eh?

Actually, there are memos that have been available to the public for about 4.5 years about how Diebold had fixed four local elections (county level) and were proud of this. Line 'em up and shoot 'em for treason IMO.

Very true. But I can say I don't care for it on either side. I do believe that Chicago vote fixing in 1960 may very well have swung the election to JFK instead of Nixon, who was the classic example of a little weasel. Nevertheless, if he was the president, he should've been president. Them's the rules.

Between rumrunner Joe Kennedys mafia connections, the Dailey machine in Chi Town and Johnsons fix in Texas, that was the biggest fix in the 20th century as far as Presidential elections goes

Professional politicians are not the solution, they are the problem!

Of course, that's because 2000 is in the 21st century

Sorry, a fair recount is not, keep counting till I win

Anyone who watched this video and then reads the latest polling at this link not a little wierded-out? Fun and fake or not, the coincidences are creepy to me.

Actually, the 2000 presidential election was decided by judges (Supreme Court) very much like a beauty contest.

The quintessential example of blind justice, no?

Any election can be fixed. It's just that the Diebold machines make it so much easier. I love the Onion!

If I recall correctly, Bush won all of the standard counts and recounts that were completed. The Supreme Court decided 7-2 that the completed recounts were legal valid. They decided 5-4 that an in-progress recount on selected counties should be stopped. Subsequent analysis by independent media groups concluded that Bush would have won using any of the counting criteria that the Gore side was attempting.
