Re: Georgia: 22,000 Voting Machines

I think in general the American populace doesn't care.

Whether you are a Bush supporter or not, in general, as a voter, you were a
bit disgusted and disillusioned with the voting process after the last
Presidential election.

Not starting a thread saying if Bush deserved it or not.  All I am saying is
everyone got to see how easy it would be to tamper with voting.

The American populace almost seems apathetic now.
