Westech writes "Multiple indications of vote fraud are beginning to pop up regarding the New Hampshire primary elections. Roughly 80% of New Hampshire precincts use Diebold machines, while the remaining 20% are hand counted. A Black Box Voting contributor has compiled a chart of results from hand counted precincts vs. results from machine counted precincts. In machine counted precincts, Clinton beat Obama by almost 5%. In hand counted precincts, Obama beat Clinton by over 4%, which closely matches the scientific polls that were conducted leading up to the election.
Another issue is the Republican results from Sutton precinct. The final results showed Ron Paul with 0 votes in Sutton. The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the discrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to 'human error.'"

As a British expatriate, I want to ask did the British people deserve Bliar and NuLab. Britain has an uncorruptible voting system where the only choice you have is which of the corrupt to vote for.

If ballots weren't secret, how would you keep people from coercing voters? How would you keep people from selling their votes? Ballots are secret for good reason.
Oh please. This is America; nobody's going to coerce my vote. They're going to buy it, fair and square.

You mean I can just look at the candidate I want to vote for, and the retina scan vote counting machine will register my vote? What if I'm looking at the cute little blonde in the parking lot?

DIET sure did for me what none of the other voting systems, either manual or electronic, had been able to do. It reduced my 31 votes to 0 votes in no time flat. Thanks, Diebold! - Ron Paul

Maybe the Slashdot submission process is powered by Diebold?

"Tonight with us, the little blonde from the parking lot and the hot brunette from the voting queue who took pollers by surprise and now seem to be the strongest contenders for the post of governor of New Hampshire. But first a word from our sponsors !"
