Hi Joao, I'm not certain if they even had computerized voting that they wouldn't have hackers. I saw Peter Jennings the other night try to explain what happened, and I SAW with my own eyes that someone had entered Data which read that Bush was leading in BROWARD County, my home county, by 234 votes. That had to be hacked information!! Broward voted 67% for Gore, its an impossibility for Bush at anytime to have been ahead in Broward. But once that information was passed on, they took the projection away from Gore and gave it to Bush, only to have to rescind it again. I myself have had a hacker from Korea trying to get into my computer. My ISP is onto it now. I have Black Ice Defender, which is an intrusion detector. Whomever this is, started in on Tuesday night and I have had 33 attacks since. Who knows why people like to hack, but they do, and so there- fore I don't think computers are going to be foolproof. I don't think anything is foolproof in the USA anymore. But thanks for caring, we appreciate it. just me, Marjorie At 06:05 PM 11/12/2000 -0200, you wrote: >Hello Marjorie, > >What is really amazing is the USA, the first nation in technical advances, >does not have a fool proof procedure against voter fraud , whereas here in >Brazil (which is not included in the developed countries group) we are already >using a full electronically controlled election procedure which results may be >computed in the same day of the voting day .Official results are proclaimed in >few days. > >The screen of the monitor shows the photo and the name and number of the >candidates .
