I don't trust corporate America to make an unbiased voting machine. I mean, what is the point of buying a machine you can't trust the results from? You would have to recount by hand anyway to making the computers pointless. There needs to be transparency in the whole election process or the process is suspect by default.

I think it is funny that there are people running for the Senate and the House *in case* we ever get representation. I will say that it was a very clean campaign, didn't hear and smear ads or ANYTHING As you might imagine, election time is interesting around here, but for different reasons than up there.

The machine was working correctly, at least it sucked my card in. I didn't look, but is there an LCD that shows you what it registered your vote as? There should always be a paper trail. The presidential speech tag cloud site was awesome. To go along with my recent kick on needing more eduction, it's interesting to track the word 'education' in reference to other words, like 'war' and 'economy'. T Voted this AM.
