NOW can we talk about voting reform?

It didn't matter at all to the neo-conned that there were serious voting irregularities in the past 3 elections... because they won.

Now that the 'other side' has won some races, can we address voting irregularities?

Easily hacked electronic voting machines are in place all over: Ohio, Florida... I think most states use electronic voting machines to some extent.

These machines are subject to tampering, and the reporting software that tabulates votes from the machines is also easily messed with.

Good example:

18K votes *disappeared* from the Congressional races in Sarasota County. classified as 'undervotes' because other races on the ballot were checked, but the main race -- the key reason for the election -- was 'not voted.' Sure, it's only Katherine Harris, but if someone wants to elect Bat***** Boobjob Kate, their vote should count.

Just because 'we' won doesn't mean the machines don't need fixing -- or at least let's establish 'paper trails.'

Lots of good info here:
