San Diego Diebold Poll Worker's Report Posted
James Renken writes "I was a poll worker in San Diego for this year's primary election. It was the county's first using Diebold voting machines, and as you may have heard, we ran into some problems! My full report of the goings-on can be found at Live from the Nuke Free Zone. Enjoy!"
Like Bill Maher said: "Voting with computers used to sound cool and futuristic, back in 1969. Today we know that computers are just big fuck-up machines."
Or the Duke Nukem Zone, which will never amount to anything. Like politics.

Videos and photos of one of Diebold's ATM machines at Carnegie Mellon playing Beethoven today might amuse you.
"...the worst case here is swearing in a losing candidate..."
George W. just called and wants to meet with you to discuss your idea.
In Soviet Russia... We hang the losing candidate.

ok, ok... the obvious thing to do at this point for the Democrats, is to write a virus that infects Diebold machines and causes them to win. Definitely. Then the Republicans and their spies would learn of it, and try to make better viruses to stop the Democrats viruses. Before you know it, the election will be put on hold, and programmers everywhere will have jobs! :D
Now thats what i call politics.
Here are some photos of a crashed Diebold ATM from National City bank. Yep, that's the windows desktop and the college kids who took the photos were controling the machine. Be afraid.
Does the Diebold do anything to to correct the traditionally crappy choice in candidates? Maybe if it let you create your own cadidate, position by position. Two parts "Simone", a dash of Hal, hmmmm....

Killed in a car accident, head of a company that was trying to push for a different system with a paper trail of votes.
Suspicious?
And, in other news, stock prices of Alcoa and other large aluminium concerns were up today.
What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?
