Florida is the Tip of the Iceberg

Florida is the tip of the iceberg...

When voting is done by computer, the legitimacy of elections depends on the
absence of secret code hidden in the software, code which can in various
ways shift the tallies toward a favored candidate or party.

When humans counted votes, community observers could monitor the process and
ensure some degree of legitimacy.  In the computer realm such ensurance
would require independent audit of the voting machines and software. 
According to the article below such auditing is prohibited in order to
'protect trade secrets'.

The truth is we don't have a clue as to whether announced results have
anything to do with actual voting.  Indeed, it would show a serious lack of
imagination in elite circles if elections were not manipulated in this way
by those who have the power and access to do so.

My own suspicions in this regard began several months before the Nicaraguan
election which allegedly voted out the Sandinistas.  A small item on page 4
of the Chronicle reported that the NSA had raided a company in the East Bay
which makes all the voting machines used in most countries, including
Nicaragua.  Naturally the report said nothing about what the NSA did there,
since such things are always secret from we the people.  If they wanted to
install some kind of secret code, the raid would have provided good cover.

After that, as the election approached, we got all this propaganda about how
Nicaraguans were ready to vote the Sandinistas out, in order to end the
Contra war.  I thought to myself... how many British were ready to vote
Churchill out, and surrender to the Germans, in order to end the Blitz? 
Nonetheless the computer-counted votes confirmed the media propaganda, and
everyone seemed to accept it all as real.

Florida?  Much ado about small change.
