“…despite the participation of tens of thousands of journalists spending tens of millions of dollars using a dizzying array of communications technology devoted to covering the campaign, the system ultimately fails to justify itself in its most essential purpose: to ensure accountability for citizens and their leaders and to offer the kind of information necessary to help voters make an educated choice for the future of their country…“Eric AltermanAmen

I thought you said fraud is insignif­i­cant before?

It’s really unfortunate how little attention you’ve paid to this subject over the past year. I’ve been the one mostly leading the charge at Logarchism regarding the voting process itself. Over that time, my message (and DC’s as well, if you had been paying attention) is as follows:

- The security of our voting system is a huge issue
– The most significant vulnerabilities in our current system revolve around the decentralized nature of the collecting, counting, and reporting functions, all of which have insufficient (and in many cases, no) checks on them
– The focus on in-person spoofing votes (i.e., voter impersonation) is a distraction, aimed at a low-value, high risk form of attack least likely to be used in a statistically significant way

The referenced article demostrates exactly how and why this is the case.

Moreover, it begs the bigger question that we should be asking: does he know more than he’s letting on? Is the Ohio election, just over a week away, fixed?

dc may not have provided it this time but there have been numerous discussions here documenting the progressive values of Americans (e.g. support for gun control, gay rights, universal healthcare, higher taxes for the 1%) as opposed to label identification.

Wait, I thought you said fraud is insignificant before? Are you now admitting that there are many ways to scam the system? Btw, have you caught the recent work by James OKeefe, which lost a Democrat’s son his campaign job?

In the end, the meme that we are a “center-​​right” nation is false.

I agree that the “center-right nation” is likely false. Course, your provide little evidence to support your “progressive nation” so I guess you’re trying to start your own meme.

If this is true, how can this sys­temic fraud be com­bated in the next 10 days?

Simply put, it can’t. This, by the way, is part of why I believe Florida is hopeless for Obama.

the cums are smooth and monotonic.  I recognize it could be an extraneous effect, all I’m saying is something is out of the ordinary.  This is how they caught the ’round off’ bank bandit years ago. You remember the guy who cracked the bank software, and was taking the penny round off error to his account.
