Verified Voting

Joe from the EFF writes "Verified Voting has just gone live with a number of tools for all you data-hungry election nerds out there. Amongst the goods: an election guide for geeks, a voter's guide to electronic voting, the Verifier database of county-by-county election information and the Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS) which will be used on E-day by attorneys and observers in the field to collect data about election incidents called into the Election Protection Coalition's hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE. The geek community is playing a particularly active role in this year's eleciton via VV's TechWatch program. However, we could still use the help of the slashdot community, and all you have to do is click: We need to test the resiliency of the Verifier database and the EIRS before the election.

I guess its not so resilient after all...

People, if you're not using persistent cursors, do NOT use persistent connections! (typically *_pconnect() in PHP)

Cannot connect to database

ot: i really like Bush's current defense against Kerry / people accusing him of losing those weapons - "don't make accusations if you can't back it up with proof or facts."

I don't know how he can't say that with a smile on his face--oh wait, he can't wipe that stupid "i know 2+2=4 so there!" grin off his face.

*sigh*. Oh well I have Karma to burn. It just goes to show you that /. is ONE SIDED. You don't want to hear the truth, you'd rather believe lies. So be it. Once you grow up and start working for a living you'll understand. Oh and one more thing...

FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
