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. "
How can these elections remain anonymous when somebody can just come into the booth after me, check for fingerprints and say "Bob's my uncle"?
Cheers & God bless

All your punch cards are belong to clinton
It's true
I'd like to add two things. One: Not all of the text books are decided on in Texas. "Left" states will go with whatever committees in California decided. Two: Text books are (generally speaking) no longer written by people knowledgable in the subject field. They are written by professional writers. It is the same thing that makes many technical books so bad. So all in all you get the most politically correct ("left" or "right" versions) stuff written by the people who don't know much of anything about what they write.
