Please don't spread Spoonamore hoax

[garybeck]

46. see my post, i think it is #23, but to answer your questions

"Is it not impossible to hack a voting machine if its air locked and you don't have physical access to it?"

that is simply not correct. you fail to acknowledge the biggest vulnerability of the tabulators (they are not really called voting machines). that is the memory cards. as you should know, the memory cards are removed from the tabulators and reprogrammed in a central location before every election. it is possible to introduce a virus into just one memory card at the central location that would silently infect all the memory cards that are programmed there. You should know that. Spoonamore mentions it specifically and you brushed over it completely.

I really don't know what his theory is on the impersonation of voters who didn't vote. he claims it could be done in real time at the end, when they know who did not vote and then they use those voters to cast fake ballots electronically for them. I don't have any reason to believe that's not possible. do you?

I don't have all the answers, but to simply call him a hoax and is improper at this time. If you talk with him and and ask him your questions, perhaps he would answer them adequately for you. Perhaps not.

but again to simply call it a hoax, that means he just made it all up, to get clicks or something like that. I don't think that's true. but it could be. in the mean time neither you nor I should call it a hoax, nor should we sign allegiance to it.

assuming he's a real person, he is a computer geek. not a journalist. just becuase he didn't cover every question and detail you have in his letter, doesn't mean he doesn't have answers or theories that could alleviate your concerns. I have some of the same questions you have. but i'm not going to call him a hoax and I don't think you should either.

and as someone else pointed out, it's not just Spoonamore. there is a 6 paged letter signed by 9 computer security experts. perhaps you should check that one out. or is that a hoax too?

sorry for the tongue in cheek.. meant respectfully.
peace
