My post is probably completely ignorant of the facts (per usual!). Nevertheless as a fairly disinterested Brit observer who is still trying to decide whether he would prefer Obama or McCain (not that it matters), my *bullshit* alarms go off big-time when exposed to this (Democrat) conspiracy theory (?) about the US voting machines. I prefer the "cock-up" theory of history. Here in the UK, all attempts to *modernise* the voting system seem to have generated corresponding allegations of increased electoral fraud. And here, in the last ten years or so, that is by an administration well to the left of the US Democrats.
