delete-a-vote

for those of you who haven't yet heard me scream...

it turns out that the guy who invented the diebold e-voting system promised to 'deliver the state of ohio to bush' ... so he purposely designed the system in such a way that it is actually possible to hack in and delete and/or change votes before they are actually recorded -- and leave no audit trail!!!

what a perfect solution to bush v. gore!!! fraud with no footsteps (or hanging chad).

Read: Salon, Buzzflash, and the Agonist.

This problem goes pretty far back...Scoop has a 2002 article about diebold -- interesting details on campaign contributions of the board of directors...

Tomorrow: Blackboxvoting is coming out with the book in electronic format.
