Reply #53: not a programmer but a partial answer [View All]

he says he wrote this before the 2000 election to show feeney that votes could be flipped secretly..
as a programmer i assume you have had to make something for one of the "suits" that looked pretty and had nice buttons and bells but didnt actually DO anything,and then when the budget gets approved you get the money and time to actually write/make the thing they are paying for?i'm not a programmer but in my previous field of employement that was commonplace..
as to the machines that DID count the vote that where made by diebold and ess and so..its those machines code that needs proper auditing.
previous leaked diebold sourcecode was shown to have poor or non-existant security and there are reports (posted in other threads) that the sourcecode for the machines was never independantly audited
