Sacramento, CA Discussion / National / FL judge denies voting machine inspection

A Democratic candidate in Florida who lost the election by a narrow margin asked to be able to review the code used in voting machines that may have lost her votes. A judge has denied her, instead protecting the company, Election Systems & Software and their profits. Christine Jennings lost by less than 400 votes in an election where 18,000 electronic ballots did not show any votes cast in that race.
What do you think? Is the judge right or wrong?

"The American people are disappointed and frustrated with the Iraq war, but they want us to succeed if there's any way to do that,"
No, the American people understand that it's impossible for us to succeed in Iraq. Why can't you?? Even with several times as many troops, war scenarios have shown that they've known it's impossible since, what, 1999??

Here are some interesting tidbits about this Gates guy, and correct me if I'm wrong on any of these: During the Iran Contra Scandal, he was in a position to know about the activities. He was in the CIA with George Bush Sr. and helped arm and finance Al-Qaeda. He was on the board of directors of several companies, including an oil drilling company, and one responsible for the security of electronic voting. Doesn't this guy sound like a winner??
