Anybody?
A lot of talk this morning about voting machine security. Somebody made the point that nobody has ever hacked into a voting system in a manner that others might detect. (No, this is NOT a tautology) I wasnt sure I understood, but it seemed that there was something analogus to a che
I found this overview to be very informative, rather alarming, and
only as technical as minimally needed.

The Freakonomics guys said at one time that we need to be clear about
the natural errors within any system, and when the vote is closer
than that error value, decide on what to do about a "tie" rather than
fretting about chads, hackers, broken machines and so on.
Basically voting like any ot
Well, Jimmy Carter does a lot of election monitoring and said last

I have a nice Sony 5-CD carousel playback deck (Model Sony CDP-C435) to give away. I've just supplanted it with a 300-CD jukebox, so I don't need it anymore. It has a headphone jack and output level control (in addition to the usual outputs to an amplifier), and I've had it connected directly to so
The cd player has been claimed, and remarkably quickly at that.

I've set up a home office in the cassista and I'd be deighted to offer a

The NY Times op-ed piece by Conley that Paul references above also makes the point that counting is a statistical process. Unfortunately this is a red herring - yes it's an effect but it is swamped by the other systemic abuses. Here's a paragraph from a Rolling Stone piece (

I was impressed that when I voted on Friday (Colorado has early voting), that the touch screen was attached to a printer that printed out each of my responses. This was not present when voting in 2004; sure... its still possible to mess with the system, but the print out provides a bit more confid
