Moron!
It is not about liberal & conservatives. Nor Republican & Democrat.
It is about the need for open source software in our voting machine
systems. Without that, liberty and the will of the people are too easily
co-opted.
It has been the radical conservatives that have had the shrill over-
reactions, and have been doing so for many years. Yet they are the
ones that accuse others of the very same unacceptable behavior.
Your reaction is uncivilized, and unintelligent. I doubt your thought
processes are any more organized.
