Touch Screen Voting Industry Circling Wagons

bhoman writes "Salon has an interesting article/interview with the author of a forthcoming book, Black Box Voting, by Bev Harris, that looks at electronic voting machines, especially Diebold touchscreens. The story includes incriminating internal memos, cease and desist orders from Diebold, transcripts of an industry teleconference where Harris Miller of the ITAA brags of his lobbying experience, and documentation of a backdoor via an Access MDB with no password. This is for software currently being used in 37 states. "

    ya know why our kids textbooks are so bad?

    because the publishers cater to the crazy ass Bible Thumping-Idiots that run the powerful Texas ISD's.

    its amazing the review process, and how much insanity is included because of the low-life texas fundamentalist christian idiots that review and influence the publishing process.

    Maybe they'll start using Access to secure Neil Bush's cell.
