Terry Kerry with Today's Dumb Thought

Via Drudge:

Teresa Heinz Kerry is openly skeptical about results from November's election, the Seattle Post Intelligencer reports, particularly in sections of the country where optical scanners were used to record votes.

"Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz Kerry said. She identified both as "hard-right" Republicans. She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines."

Heinz Kerry did not offer any specific evidence that votes on the machines were altered.

"We in the United States are not a banana republic," added Heinz Kerry during a fundraiser in Seattle.

"I fear for '06," she said.

Kerry does not acknowledge, and probably didn't have enough information to know, that these voting machines were never networked, making hacking a near impossibility. A hack could only be accomplished, by requiring each and every machine to be individually hacked, in person.

As Bugs would say, "What a maroon."
