More bullshit, this time about voting machines.

As I've already shown, I'm not much of one for wingnut conspiracy theories. However I don't really consider the notion that electronic voting opens the door to electoral tampering to require much in the way of a "conspiracy".

Lenny Flank does a good job here of describing the aims and means of much of the movement of fundamentalist Christianity here. Of particular note is the Reconstructionist movement, a group of psychotics hell-bent on imposing biblical law over the earth. Here he discusses one of their primary movers and shakers, Howard Ahmanson:

Ahmanson has given several million dollars over the past few years to anti-evolution groups (including Discovery Institute), as well as anti-gay groups, "Christian" political candidates, and funding efforts to split the Episcopalian Church over its willingness to ordain gay ministers and to other groups which oppose the minimum wage. He was also a major funder of the recent "recall" effort in California which led to the election of Terminator Arnie. Ahmanson is also a major funder of the effort for computerized voting, and he and several other prominent Reconstructionists have close ties with Diebold, the company that would manufacture the computerized voting machines if they were used. There has been some criticism of Diebold because it refuses to make the source code of its voting machine software available for scrutiny, and its software does not allow anyone to track voting after it is done (no way to confirm accuracy of the machine). This ease of possible "vote-fixing" may or may not be connected to the belief of Diebold's Reconstructionist backers that only "Christians" should be allowed to vote.

Electronic voting, without transparency and accountability, is some seriously scary shit, particularly when, in the 2004 elections, vote counts failed to meet up with exit polls to a degree never before seen in a modern election.
