That's right government...laugh and point...Don't Stop, Don't Stop!

In this week's issue of Newsweek (September 10th, 2007), I found an article on the touchscreen electronic voting machines. It brings up a, basically, unspoken of break in the new 'state of the art democratic technology!' The only thing I have to say, as well as many other bloggers worldwide, is "Isn't there something more accurate, more evidential, and more SECURE than these ballot-casting booths?"

Debra Bowen is California's Secretary of State. In an interview by Steven Levy, this brilliant and revealing line was captured..."Things were worse than I thought." She stated in the article that "vulnerabilities in election voting machines are so severe that voters have no way of knowing for sure that the choices they enter into the touchscreens and ballots will actually be counted." Hell, even print-out receipts for your choices at the polling booths have been proposed! But such an innovative idea as that could still be hacked into quite easily.

Today's date is September 10th, 2007. Election time is November 2008. We're getting a bit close to be able to change this BULGING PROBLEM. Every single day we're a bit closer to that time. Is there any hope? Come on Congress, isn't it time to do something?
