Black Box Voting : Wa Post article
This may have been in yesterdays stuff but if you were like me you missed it until today:

Growing distrust of the voting machines, including from the LCCC!

"Still, even some advocates of the new system are thinking twice. The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, which pushed for electronic machines to help visually impaired and disabled voters, says the Hopkins report has given them pause. They're calling on President Bush and members of Congress to convene a forum of experts to hash it out. "We have become concerned about these questions of ballot security," said Deputy Director Nancy Zirkin.

Her group and others supported passage of the $3.9 billion Help America Vote Act in November. Of the $1.5 billion appropriated so far to replace old machines, rewrite outdated equipment standards, encourage research to improve technology, train poll workers and update registration lists, about half has been released. And that has all gone toward buying electronic machines, which cost as much as $4,000 a piece. "

All credit to Bev...hopefully this will spread wide and fast.

BTW - about your sigline - is Bush-Satan really different from Bush-Cheney? ;-)
