Move Along, These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For

Bradblog via Shystee on San Diego's $election:

Well, guess what? Poll workers in San Diego County had much more than just “a few seconds of physical access to the machines” when they stored the voting machines at their own homes on the night prior to yesterday’s election!

You read that correctly. The most vulnerable voting machines ever created and used in an American election were given to random, volunteer poll workers in San Diego to keep in their houses overnight to do with as they please. The systems were “guarded” by little more than a thin strip of plastic “tamper tape” over some, but not all, of each machines’ dozens of vulnerable physical access points.

A spokesperson this morning from the San Diego Registrar of Voters office confirmed to The BRAD BLOG that “Yes, the machines were sent home with poll workers the night before the election.”


Turns out, according to the New York Pravda:

...Ken Mehlman, said Wednesday that Republicans had 160 people in this district helping to get out the vote.

"They made 164,000 phone calls," Mr. Mehlman said.

Democrats said the Democratic National Committee had no similar effort on the ground here...


I wonder what the reaction of the Vegas kossacks will be to this?

I know what the reaction of the DLC or the DNC will be: none whatsoever.

I wonder if Harry Reid (D-MGM Mirage Casino) will mention this when he talks?
