more security issues ....

On January of 2007, a photo of the key used to open Diebold voting machines was posted in the company's website. Hackers and just about anyone with a knack for lockpicking were then able to produce their own duplicate key based on the photo. The key unlocks a compartment which contains a removable memory card, leaving the machine vulnerable to tampering. [19]

We all have our comfort zones, for example behind fake chat room names.

Just because you haven't 'eyeballed' anything suspicious, doesn't mean you prove correctness.
Would you believe that the only people who see crime in all of that foolishness are also the ones who believe there is a conspiracy. Funny how no DA of either party has followed-up on the conspiracy theories. They are all probably part of the conspiracy, too.

So its conspiracy when it applies to oneself and theory, dictum, fact when it applies to others.

Completely missed the point in an attempt to twist it to your own meaning, didn't you?

Read it again.

Let me help you understand it.

That particular allegation was made and several investigations conducted. In order for the allegation of criminality to be true, yet undiscovered by alw enforcement means that multiple DA's must be involved as well as election commissions of several states and the federal government and both major parties.

Does that seem like a reasonable conspiracy to you?

It's widely known that you are a strong supporter of the theory "What you cannot see, does not exist"

Same with cockroaches.

You see 1, but you deny the existence of the mega-millions you don't see.
On top of it, you belittle everybody who knows that there are mega-millions, not visible to the bare eye, as a "conspiracy theorist".

Basically, because at this particular moment you don't physically see those mega-million hidden cockroaches, you go ahead and deny their existence?

And you don't believe in coverups? Has happened many a times in history, all across the Globe as a matter of fact. Sweeping dirt under the carpet wont' really make it clean, would it?

I see roaches, I kill roaches. Now apply that to your defense of wacko-paranoid conspiracy theories.

Are you convinced that the state & Fed DA's, the FBI, state voting authorities, and the major political parties are in collusion to hide the theft of elections by ... somebody?

And you are fully convinced these are saintly institutions capable of no wrong and run by absolute Gods even in lieu of some of the current happening which has downplayed the credibility of these very institutions, from lying to coercion to many other evils and of course, their exceptionally good art of deception and denial.

There is no such thing as perfection, but it all comes down to: You gotta trust somebody. Do you trust the guy who sold you the locks to your house, or do you think he will come at night and take all your stuff?

To an extent I agree but blind absolute faith without vigilance is totally wrong which I am sure you will agree. Also to think that good governance only exists in US is wrong way of thinking, it exists elsewhere as well in more or lesser forms but nothing and nowhere is absolute.

Of course it exists elsewhere. And in many cases we (the US) helped them get to where they are. Yet none of those countries have instituted a 'USA Day' or otherwise bow to it. They often use their freedoms to fling arrows back in our direction instead.
