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.
The three classical taboo subjects of the workplace.
It is my sincere hope that (relative) sanity will be restored to the US federal government in the near future.
On a personal note, I now know three guys (USMC from this area) dead in Iraq.
Anyhow, Then we can all go back the discussions on religion and sex. Those two don't have a paper trail to properly verify them either.
Seriously, a tight election in 2000 and 2004 have shown what a POS our voting system presently is.
Need to get an upgrade... Shall we outsource the job to India or China?

Not to feed the troll or anything,
From what I read in the article Kerry said "Bush is stupid, he didnt secure these weapons." The White House responded with "Weapons were already gone when we got there, NBC was there, they can corroborate". And here comes Mr. Lockhart with "OMG U STILL LIES!" even after being soundly proved wrong. Furthermore, why blame Bush? Why not blame the IAEA for securing or destroying the material? Oh wait, that's because Kerry is a U.N. lapdog, and dont want to piss off the U.N.
Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
If you go to the wrong polling place, you probably shouldn't be voting anyway...
Just let it go Mr. Liberal. You're losing!
This is a test. This is a test of the emergency sig system. This has been only a test.
That's awfully nice of the Slashdot editors. Lets Slashdot the living hell out of these important servers at the very point and time they are supposed to be used. Can you be any more inconsiderate? It could only be worse if the Slashdot editor did it on Tuesday! What the hell are they thinking? Are they thinking? I swear I never will understand the thinking of the Slashdot editors, or utter lack thereof. The must get off on DoSing servers.
Watch it and then tell me how this could be acceptable under any circumstance.
