Electronic Voting
If you can read this and in any way justify to me that the mechanisms of democracy should be in the hands of Diebold (or, in fact, electronic voting in general), I'll be impressed. And a little bit afraid.
Regardless of the conspiracy theories going around, these systems are deeply flawed. And they need to be fixed, sooner rather than later.

Vote In The Box, Son
Diebold systems are secure.
Could someone hack an election?
Yes, according to a report presented to the Maryland Legislature Thursday by Raba Technologies, a consulting firm.
100% secure.
Maryland hired Raba's computer scientists to hack into its Diebold electronic voting system.
There is no way they could be broken into.
The researchers found that software vulnerabilities could allow a saboteur to vote multiple times or tamper with computer code to steal an election.
Ever.
"The team was able to demonstrate the ability to switch two candidates," the Raba scientists warned legislators.
Our votes are 100% safe.
"Consequently, the voter appeared to vote for the candidate of his choice but he actually voted for another candidate."
Go out, my people. Vote.

E-voting firm suffers electronic break-in.
I'm so comforted by this.
