Vote Eating Machines
Paul Krugman has a characteristically relevant column in the NY Times today about the problems with voting machine technology. If you haven't followed this story (its appeared all over, including in Salon and on Slashdot) , then you're probably not aware of the depths to which Bush may be able to also steal the '04 election. Diebold, manufacturer of tons of these things, is run by a man in Ohio who is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." (Oh, he also happens to be a major Bush fundraiser.) The machines, which are filled with security holes, and which Diebold refuses to let anyone analyze the code for, have absolutely no paper trail or any other method of vote history verification. Coming to a poll near you...
