Something was rotten in the state of Ohio.

I represented the Republican Party in Santa Clara county at the office of the registrar. Everyone was sure I was going to see all sorts of nefarious stuff. If there was some fraud going on it was some pretty sophisticated stuff. You guys may know this but it was news to me (and maybe they only do this in Santa Clara). One third of the votes were absentee votes. The signature of every single absentee vote, was compared to the signature the person made when they registered. They had every registered voter in Santa Clara county's signature in the computer and the worker would scan the signature with an electronic pen and scan signature of the absentee ballot. They had a bunch of experts there to determine if one was a forgery if one looked suspicious. When the voting was done they did the same thing with the signatures people made when they signed the book when they voting at the polls. The ballot was touch screen, so we hired some Sun Micorsystems guy to make sure that was kosher (but even if it wasn't I don't see how the vote could then square with the signature check in the end). Needless to say he said he was very impresses with their computer system.

Well, that settles that.
