BBV hits the corporate mainstream

E-Voting Debacle Looms
BY MEGAN SANTOSUS

THIS NOVEMBER millions of voters will cast their ballots using touch-screen e-voting machines despite increasing evidence that the technology is far from fail-safe. Indeed, as the election nears, the debate over electronic voting has become ever more contentious.

Its fans believe that e-voting—in which votes are cast, recorded and counted electronically—will ensure the integrity of results, streamline election administration, and at last give Americans who previously were unable to vote unassisted access to a secret ballot. While those benefits may be true, a growing contingent of e-voting opponents, among them a vocal group of computer scientists, is saying that e-voting software is currently too rife with security gaps and bugs to serve as the linchpin of our democracy.

2. I love how they give three reasons for Electronic Voting

As if any one of those reasons might not be a sufficiently good reason by itself. But together, oh, man, what a wunnerful thing!!

If Bush manages to steal the election in November, some bad shit is going to happen in this country. Berry, berry, berry bad.
