Voting Machines

Please do not forget that there are issues with electronic voting machines that must be resolved before these machines can be trusted.

John Williams of Thudfactor has posts here and at OSPolitics (which includes a neat simulator) that discuss some of the issues.

Ask for audited open source software and clear paper trails now.

Via Notes on the Atrocities.

Update: Talkleft notes that Florida will not require paper trails (surely no one is surprized by this) and Jeralyn provides several links to good reference material.
