Iowa GOP worried by hacker threat to caucus vote

Corruption at the highest level. With corrupt government...you will always have fraud!

Why are any voting machines or databases used for tallying and storing vote totals connected to any type of network? You are just asking for trouble. Everything used in voting should be standalone. It may take a little longer, but it ensures integrity of the vote.

All electronic voting machines can be hacked or rigged to changed results. They have almost no safeguards in place. Always vote with paper if you have the choice.

Why even use a computer system attached to the internet? I mean come on...

Electronic machines are a threat to democracy, since the only record s stored in a machine, where it can be altered . At least a paper ballot is a PHYSICAL thing that can be held when counted.

Well, this is what happens when we trust computers to manage everything for us. This is just the tip if the iceberg.

Want to eliminate fraud? Get away from the computerized voting machines that can be rigged. Use physical vote cards with signature and thumbprint. The Iraqi people use this system. Problem solved.

Going to electronic voting is the worst idea of the century.

We need to go back to paper ballots and many impartials observers present at all times to watch the ballot boxes. This electronic voting thing is a sham and has stolen our voting rights. Voting isn't supposed to be convenient, it's supposed to count.

Anyone smell a rat?

Of course, they will be struggling to explain to the world how George W. Bush won the 2012 Iowa Caucuses.

The main ones I am concerned about 'hacking' the caucus are the GOP establishment themselves.

So when Ron Paul has a runaway victory, will it be blamed on hackers now? Gimme a break. They need to save some of their excuses for the rest of his caucus and primary wins, and stop using them all on Iowa don't you think?

This is not a progressive vs. conservative thing. It is a criminal threat. Don't these miscreants realise they are attacking our rule by the people for the people. I am a progressive, but subverting any Americans right to be heard and counted is attacking our way of life. We don't want rule by dirty tricks any more than we want rule by police or military force.

Fear about reporting results? May I suggest using a telephone?

That is why we need paper ballots to know to be sure the votes are counted honestly. Ban the electronic machines.

The establishment will attempt to disqualify Ron Paul for getting too many of the votes as they did with most of the polls that Ron Paul won. Meanwhile, the US accuses Russia of rigging their elections.
Ron Paul may be who the American people want, but the system that he threatens will not allow it.

You can't hack paper. Maybe its the Government getting ready to hack the database. Maybe they are scared Ron Paul might actually win. Look at the headlines these last few days. Or maybe the voting machines in every primary will be hacked, causing a bunch of issues. Maybe they just might suspend elections until they get the issue resolved.

This is just a laying of the foundation to make sure that RON PAUL doesn''t win. If he wins fairly, they will claim a hacker had something to do with it. Its called desperation folks. The GOP is more worried that their hacker will lose the cyber match.

Call diebold. Yeah the company that helped you guys out in Florida and Ohio. They are experts at this kind of thing. No need for a recount.

Why not a show of hands and a paper ballot and an EMAIL sent to the voters themselves to date stamp their votes. Video cameras of the show of hands for a measure of redundancy should keep them HONEST. Now I wouldn't be so sceptical of a acurate vote, but I know who has Reed Elsevier, you see they bought ChoicePoint, the company behind the election scandal in Florida, they are a foreign company with info on 200million Americans. Any bit of insurance for a fair election, is not too much!
