3. Why so pessimistic? We get what we allow.

Some are doing something.
And corruption usually leads to its own downfall.

5. Seems that a simple programming algorithm could have created

the perceived problem. Make evey X number of votes register Bush when Kerry entered. If reset, accept Kerry. Some will challenge the "error", many won't.

Assuming the there were 100,000 input error complaints reistered, I'll bet 30X that # occurred without challenge. If 30MM votes were recorded on electronic machines, 3,000+ errors per million is unacceptable in terms of computer transactional errors. That in itself should raise a serious flag about the reliability or, even worse, the potential criminal programming of the machines.

6. Some machines in some precincts of some counties seem to have been program

ed to default in certain or all races after a set period of time.
And it can only be noticed if you are alert regarding the review screen just before you cast the votes.
