Ah I see they're already gearing up for their "Republicans stole the election (again)" series when Obama loses next year. Although I think this is jumping the gun a bit. Funny how these lab tests never seem to be done when it look like a Democrat is going to win (or won).

That's what happens when a major voting machine company publically states that they are going to deliver the election to the Republicans.

There was plenty of voting machine hack news in 2008.

Maybe but nothing like 2004. The RFK Rolling Stone article, HBO documentaries, hell Black Box Voting was founded that year.

In 2008, the NYT was publishing opinion pieces about "The Myth of Voter Fraud" http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/opinion/13tue1.html

Trust me this will be a front page issue again in 2012 The irony of course is that calling into question the validity of an election is the oldest form of election rigging there is.

Nope, it was a big deal both times. This is confirmation bias on your part, simple as that.
