Its game-on in the effort to at least discredit the results of the November 3rd election. The Gouverneur Times reports the presence of a virus in some of the optical scan tabulators used in this years election. Add to that, tabulation and transcription errors on election night and allegations from Team Hoffman that ACORN and Company tampered with the process in some unknown and unnamed way.
Before you know it Glenn Beck will say it's the Chicago Way at work in NNY and while it won't change Bill Owens election, it will make Doug Hoffman a victim and I suspect he hopes provide the impetus for a rematch next year. The press coverage over the purported election miscues will stimulate fundraising and may allow Hoffman to enter 2010 with a hefty war chest that could scare off challengers. It could also make him look whacky.........
The good thing about this voting system is it does leave a trail of paper ballots that could be recounted by hand......150,000 of them.
VIRUS in the VOTING MACHINES: Tainted Results in NY-23

Someone please tell Mr. Hoffman his fifteen minutes are up. He is just making himself look foolish.
This has nothing to do with Hoffman. The Gouverneur Times is making itself look ridiculous with this kind of conspiracy-theory-level writing. If they were looking for credibility, they blew it.
A virus? Come on! And then, to raise unfounded boogeymen about the hand ballots not being reliable because they may have been tampered with (purely on speculation, mind you)... they're just acting like whiny little children.
Yes, there were problems. No, trying to say the election was supposedly stolen by viruses and phantom ballot-changers is not going to change the outcome of the election, like it or not. Let's stick to the real issues and not start making up stories to raise boogeymen.
Looks the GT is trying to ride Beck/Hannity/Limbaugh's tailcoats, only they lack one thing: talent.
Ooops! Made a wording error in the above post. Wonder if it qualifies me for employment with the GT
There are few things that turn of voters more than sore losers.
The Gouverneur Times made no claims that the election was "stolen" or that Hoffman *should* win. They raised a very valid concern about the integrity of computerized voting systems and their security flaws. Nor did the Times "invent" the virus story.. the issue was raised by the election commissioners themselves.
This is really cool!!! ACORN has out-engineered the designers of the machines, simply by orally bypassing the counters to influence the results. At least that's the implication. What good is a machine counter if a human can't correctly read it, and if a human has to call in numbers like a bookie? The GT article has so many quotation marks in it that I got dizzy reading it.
