Doubting Electronic Voting

twitter writes "The NYT is raising the alarm on electronic voting. After citing expert opinion on the need for a paper trail, they then quote election officials and vendors who dismiss that opinion as the ignorant work of dreamers. The reporter titles his article, 'To Register Doubts, Press Here' and seems less than convinced."

Sorry, but the roadblocks thing is a persistent urban legend.

I suppose that's fine to think, if thinking that sort of thing really helps you to sleep better at night.

First they came for the Jews.
But I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists.
But I didn't speak up because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists.
But I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics.
But I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me.
And by that time no one was left to speak up.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is the cornerstone of our legal system. So prove them guilty.

I'm sorry, did you really mean cynical and fat? He certainly is NOT rich and powerful. Why else would he have hijacked the Oscars?

Cynical? yes. It's really hard not to be considering our own 'voting irregularities'

As to his weight, I'll pass. I'm sure he is well aware that obesity is dangerous.

I have no idea if he is rich, he does however do a very effective job representing the common man.

As to being powerful, you bet he is. His power is the power of the people. Anyone who raises their voice and gets the kind of resonance his films have deserves to be called powerful.

Hijack the Oscars? I think not. Many Oscar winners stated their opposition to the war, and Moore did so eloquently.

I went and heard Moore speak a few weeks before the Oscars. He proudly stated his intentions of making a politically charged speech if awarded an Oscar, and received a standing ovation from a crowd of 6000+.

I believe that the people who really 'hijacked the Oscars' were the Oakland PD which kept the war protesters far away from the Oscars so the media wouldn't see them.

I am not only gratified, but absolutely gobsmacked that your post has been modded +3 on Slashdot, a bastion of the most rabid extreme-redneck-brigade. Maybe times are changing after all...
