I share your concerns about the obvious potential for abuse with the new electronic voting systems. Here's some important information on the issue: Today, Democracy NOW! featured a couple of segments on the potential for vote fraud with our new electronic systems. Featured guests included Rep. Rush Holt (D. NJ) who has introduced legistation to provide an auditable paper trail to new systems, and an Independent-UK newspaper reporter who has written an important article on the potential for vote fraud with our brave new world of electronic voting. democracynow.org Also, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is concerned about the potential for abuse: democracynow.org *********** Here's a mainstream AP/Yahoo story on the issue of potential vote fraud due to GOP corporatists owning and controlling the electronic voting systems: story.news.yahoo.com ********** What Really Happened has an excellent webpage on vote fraud, regularly updated: whatreallyhappened.com ********** I don't know about you, AS, but I'd love to see some of the Democratic candidates start to take on this issue. It can be a real problem for the GOP, if the apathetic public gets the idea in their head that election theft is the main M.O. for continued GOP dominance of the reins of power in Washington. I have every reason to believe that the GOP is cynically manipulating the system and destroying the basis of our democracy. Is Bush like Hitler? Bush, et al, are far more sophisticated and media savvy than Hitler ever was. But the endgame appears to be just as malevolent.
