Social Question

Do you think this report could impact the upcoming election (link in details)?

Asked by hearkat (22922points) October 28th, 2012 from iPhone

A friend just posted this article about voting machine manipulation… I’ve never been great with statistics, so I thought I’d post it here and let those much smarter than I am help me understand.

I am posting this in ‘Social’, but I ask that we please just focus on analyzing this report objectively, and not resort to being petty because of political affiliations

@hearkat, your link leads to a dead end. Do you have an alternative pointer to the same material?

I am MUCH MUCH more inclined than the average person to believe stories of Republican wrong-doing

This report does not look credible.

Thanks, @ragingloli – I had gone to bed not long after posting the Question.
My apologies to @Jeruba and others.

@jatkay – could you please expand on your reasoning? Is there some sign that they’ve pushed the limits of mathematical reasoning, and crossed over into outright manipulation?

Hackable voting machines have been around for quite a while.

I find it interesting that although Fox News reported on this, they chose to play the birther card, rather then the voting machine card.
