This exchange is another on several lists that I've seen regarding the allegedly unaccountable voting machines which doesn't deal with the fact that this is, at least in terms of patronage if not of program, a two-party system. If one party seeks to squirrel votes in a machine not open to public scrutiny, why is not the other party crying bloody murder? I have asked this question on other lists at least twice. No answer offered by anybody so far. Is it the assumption that the Dems are brain-dead or is it that they are thought to be benefiting from the same glitch and colluding against voters? What in the world? Am I missing something here?
