Its not really clear there is a problem here beyond the fact that Ohio (like many states) has a partisan appointee running their elections commission and they picked the same outsourcing partner. I think elections in the US should be operated by the federal government. Basically, the propriety of Ohio's elections impacts who my President is, and so I ought to have a say in how they operate their election.
Not really clear there's a problem? When 2+2=5 there's a problem. At this point we are looking at a systematic attack to turn the nation from a constitutional republic, flawed as it may be, into a banana republic kleptocracy. And if you don't understand where that comes from, you obviously haven't been watching state local and federal officials who have come under indictment or been sent to jail, overwhelmingly Republican, the bogus or botched prosecutions (see Georgia Thompson, wrongfully sent to jail on a Republican witch hunt for starters), the disastrous boondoggle of Katrina where billions have been spent to help no one but vampiric corporations, the complete and utter mess of Iraq, and the fact that SIX AND A HALF YEARS AFTER OSAMA BIN LADEN BLEW UP THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, HE'S STILL AT LARGE.
Time to pull your head out of the sand. Remember this? The 2004 election was stolen. The 2000 election was stolen. Take a quick look at this photo of the "Florida mob" that was shouting down the recount. Want a reason for impeachment? Bush LOST and his party subverted the voting process to keep his ass planted in the White House.
Um, no, its not clear that there is a problem here. Absolutely nothing that you just said has anything to do with whether or not this specific computer was used to manipulate the election.
