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?
