that the same thing happened a few days before our caucuses here and that many people who were registered to vote were shown not to be registered. Interesting.

or servers running vulnerable applications can be penetrated by taking advantage of these faults. Sometimes it causes an application crash, in order to obtain Admin privileges.

*NIX servers running AUFS ( Audit File System) Provide a record of the attempt and allow forensic examination of the event.

Yeah, I suspect someone got into their Server.

Any other geeks please chime-in and correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

That would be convenient. I wonder if the IT people requested new equipment that was turned down.

Even if it fixes the problem, folks still have to wait in line longer.

Many had to leave.

I'm not sure how long the DMV's state issued ID is valid for, but I suspect it will be good until 2018 and Walker's re-election bid.

It's possible to also look at this as a 'sea-trial', that actually gets dems prepared for Nov. Getting hundreds of thousands of young voters registered is good for the general and WI elections going into the near future.

Not to understate the problem, but I think you get the drift.

people here are well aware of the voter ID law needed to vote (but not needed to register to vote) and the separate requirements for proof of residency needed to register.

As is often the case with people, procrastination is common, and so there has been a last minute rush for state issued ID and complete registration.

These aren't disastrous things, even with the inevitable lines and the crashing of suddenly very busy subroutines on the WI gov computer net, what's being demonstrated is a whole bunch of people preparing to turnout on Tuesday.

I hate this stuff. It seems to happen all the time esp when a grass roots candidate dares take on the establishment.
