Maryland Scraps Diebold Voting System

beadfulthings writes "After eight years and some $65 million, the state of Maryland is taking its first steps to return to an accountable, paper-ballot based voting system. Governor Martin O'Malley has announced an initial outlay of $6.5 million towards the $20 million cost of an optical system which will scan and tally the votes while the paper ballots are retained as a backup. The new (or old) system is expected to be in place by 2010 — or four years before the state finishes paying off the bill for the touch-screen system."

After digging around the page source, I've come up with the following solution.

If your browser allows user stylesheets (i.e. Opera, Konqueror), adding the following to your user CSS file should do it:

*.tags,
*.tagheader,
*.tagname
{
        display: none !important;
        width: 0pt !important;
        height: 0pt !important;
        background: white !important;
        margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt !important;
        padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt !important;
}

I've just now tried it, and it seems to work, but I take no responsibility if it breaks anything.
