Iowa was using the discredited election-stealing Diebold e-voting machines. Are they busy tweaking the results?

See my previous post for my conspiracy theory.

AMES: A Partial Recount Confirmed
11 Aug 2007 08:52 pm
AMES -- Mary Tiffany, an Iowa Republican Party official, confirms that at least one voting machine malfunctioned and that tabulators recounted at least 1500 ballots.
The state party rented optical scan machines from Diebold, a company at the center of several recent voting controversies. Recently, the state of California decertified Diebold machines for the 2008 election.
Yesterday, Iowans who support Ron Paul failed to get a judge to require a voter-verified paper ballot be used in today's straw poll. Separately, the state party told the Paul campaign that a full paper recount would cost $184,000.
Already, some Paul supporters are whispering about a challenge.

AMES: Results Delayed An Hour And Counting..
11 Aug 2007 08:44 pm
AMES -- The Atlantic's Joshua Green tells me that the Romney high command is currently huddled around campaign counsel Ben Ginsberg, one of the nation's preeminent election lawyers. Perhaps Mr. Ginsberg is telling a joke, or perhaps he is explaining to them the reason for the delay, as best as he can gather.

Does anyone care that one of the e-voting officials is a Romney campaign staffer..? That an Iowan paper's front-page poll gave 81% of its 4,000+ responses to Paul?
booybob
No, I didn't know that :mad:

Huckabee is a Baptist preacher, he knows how to speak articulately and convincingly. Some of the things he says sound good to rational people, but this video shows that he only respects the Constitution and the principles of federalism and limited government when it suits his ideology. He is a sadistic religious fundamentalist.

A little.

What? You mean, there was a newspaper out there asking people who they voted for as they came out (exit poll) and got more than 4,000 people saying "Ron Paul"? That's not proof, I guess, but it would sure make a nice news story ;)
