Reply #7: Two things to consider [View All]

[Kelvin Mace]

1) If you harp on the ownership problem, you get labeled a "conspiracy nut". Unfair? Yes, but that's life.

2) Imagine you have to bet on how I might die in the next six months. Your options are: a) A terrorist hijacks my plane and flies it into another big building. b) A drunk driver takes me out.

How do you bet?

The smart money is on the drunk driver, as there are *many* more of them than there are suicidal terrorists in the US.

The same holds true for BBV. The bet becomes a) An election rigged by persons willing to risk jail. b) An election screwed up due to buggy software running on flakey hardware.

Again the smart money is on buggy/flakey. Each BBV machine is a disaster waiting to happen, i.e. tens of thousands of potential errors. The number of people willing and able to rig an election is much smaller.

Odds that another 9/11 will happen in the next 24 hours: 1:10,000?

Odds that a person will die due to a drunk driver in the next 24 hours: No bet, it is a certainty

Chance that someone will rig an election in November: ???

Chance that a voting machine will malfunction and fail to properly record a vote: 100%

Of course, a deliberately rigged election is like 9/11: catastrophic and inevitable at some future date.
