NY Times Endorses Open-Source Election Software
jdauerbach writes "On its editorial page today, the New York Times called for election system reform, saying among other things that 'Congress should impose much more rigorous safeguards, including a requirement that all computer code be made public. It should require that all electronic machines produce a voter-verified paper trail.'"
The New York Times wasn't hacked?
You're kidding! It endorsed an opposition candidate?? Are they even allowed to do that???
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
I'm totally against this. There's nothing worse than going into the voting booth only to find that someone has taken a dump on the machine.
And how do you know you aren't just a brain in a jar being manipulated to believe you are a full human with voting rights?
In other news, John Kerry is endorsed by Jerry Springer. Talk about an endorsement. As if I needed yet another reason NOT to vote for Kerry. :)
Pen and paper don't malfunction
What happens when the lead on your pencil breaks? What then? Answer that, Mr. Scientist!
That's right. All your base.
TV?? No, only daytime radio could produce such an asinine perspective.
