Diebold (Premier) controls vote count in NH Primary

I just read this blog which tells about Premier (formerly Diebold), running the eVoting machines in New Hampshire. Diebold is the company that has gotten in trouble numerous times over voting machines that can be easily hacked to return bad results. Watch this clip from Democracy Now! And of course the actual testimony of a computer programmer who wrote a program for a Republican to hack the voting machine. Scary stuff!

Now why would anyone want to steal a primary election? Well, whoever did it in the past might be inclined to make sure that a certain candidate wins this time, to further promote their agenda. Or perhaps to make sure certain candidates (Ron Paul) don't win. Or maybe to make other candidates (Hillary) have a surprise victory, to ensure that Republicans have a candidate they can beat..

I'm not saying this is gonna happen.. But look for exit poll numbers which are way off from the actual results. That's a sure sign.. And of course, watch out in November....
