The Curious Case of Alvin Greene

[Xantar]

Unless the perpetrator reveals their act, I'm not seeing how any point is being made... unless the hacker is waiting to have Greene unseat DeMint through nefarious means...

I'm not sure if I was clear about this, but the point being made under my theory is that the polling machines are flawed and need to be replaced. There has already been a formal complaint filed by the South Carolina Democratic Party (for what it's worth) and perhaps in a few months there will be an audit of the vote.

Mind you, I don't think any of that will actually change anything. Election boards tend to be composed of idiots. Case in point: they chose to use electronic polling machines with no paper trail.

I understood completely, but if that is the hacker's goal, he is failing to make his point. Perhaps an audit is taking place, but 99% of the populace has no idea its happening. If the hacker revealed the tampering to major news outlets and showed how he did it then it would create change. As it stands, I doubt it will change anything, as you said.
