Maryland Fights to Keep E-voting

crystalattice writes "Apparently Maryland election officials never have computer problems. That's why they're fighting so hard to keep their Diebold e-voting machines. Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher received nothing but bad attitudes, dodges, and excuses when he attempted to discuss the issue with the state elections administration and Diebold." From the article: "I asked the state's elections administrator, Linda Lamone, whether Maryland wasn't just a bit too quick to adopt electronic voting. Doesn't the computer at your desk ever freeze up on you? 'No,' she replied. Never? 'No.' But surely people in your office have had that experience? 'No.' (Maybe we've found the solution to Maryland's voting problem: Everybody head on down to Linda Lamone's office, where the machines work 100 percent of the time.)"

This country stopped being what it was a long time ago.
It has become a sham. We all just have it in the back of our minds "that's how it is".
We accept the corruption, idiocy and incompetence because we're used to it.
This shit needs to stop, the buck passing, the lies, the outright flaunted decadence and waste.

I don't believe in capital punishment, except for an exceptional set. I believe in the death penalty for any government employee who works to subvert/attack/damage the constitution/ourRights/democratic processes. In that case I believe it should be the default.
Fine, I'm a radical, whatever. The fact is, such people hold the lives and rights of others in their hands, they have more responsibility. The penalty for corruption and treason, yes TREASON, should be death. Treason is thrown around by all the political camps like water, "it's treasonous!" they'll yell. No, high treason is betraying one's country, NOT ONE'S GOVERNMENT. When a politician sells out the people or the country, they are high traitors, and I'd like to see them put to death in PUBLIC. Public for cruelty? Public to incite fear? No, hardly, public for the same reason the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons were put on display. To prove to the people "YES THEY ARE REALLY DEAD". In such a time, and particularly with these dealmaking weasels, it might be neccessary.
