Ralph asks:

" I don't understand why, if this
technology is of such benefit to one party,
 the other party isn't acting against it;....." (snip)

It's a bit of a catch-22, Ralph.
A Democrat, or a Liberal Republican
who believed these allegations must also believe that the mass media have
ignored the many stories that have "come out", (put "computer voting fraud"
into your search engine).
This might lead you to fear that your charges would appear(if at all). on
page 52d, right next to a story suggesting that your campaigns are funded by
Islamic charities.

You would also know that the first use made of Bush's new majority after the
last elections was to flood the judiciary with friends of the Junta.
This takes the excitement right out of a court challenge....and suggests
what you might expect when you are sued for libel....

Finally, you  could be expected to assume that the surest result of your
initiative would be an unexplained "shift" in the vote in your own District.

Better to ask: " How could it be that the programs which control the
computers that control the elections
are deemed "proprietary", and thus secret,and beyond the jurisdiction of
State election officials?"
Or, "Why are exit polls now being suppressed?"
