Comment :  i am a  white male registerd voter in Texas. i am of the progressive/ liberal persuasion.so my comments are neither influenced by republican or democratic partisanship. i feel that the previous 2004 election was stolen thru the use of the Diebold Voting Systems and their allowing the source code for  their Diebold Central Tabulator to be used by inappropriate people..this source code was able to be plugged into the software for the modem and the votes going thru that modem to a central local  tabulator could be indeed changed!!! this could have even been done easily
by someone --allegedly in the  White House with unscrupolous intentions.Diebold knew this was happening..it was brought to their attention and looked the other way. when questioned by people about this they just said this was nothing but  
"conspiracy theories". but i contend this was not just a conspiracy..Diebold and those controlling these modems knew it was possible..Bev Harris and Howard Dean of  
BlackBoxVoting.org showed just how this could happen on national TV one night. but the media did not pick up on it.Diebold employess were scared to
silence to bring out into the open what could happen with the software  
systems.Diebold is still denying culpability. This is just the tip of the iceberg!!!.the 2004  
election was stolen.our democracy has been stolen..something needs to be done about it!!Nothing short of a complete Congressional Investigation. .but guess who runs Congress..the Republicans!! guess who  
was in power during the alleged modem/software hacking going on? And given the same chance, the Dems would do the same if it gained them power in elections..so both parties are the culprits.
