Vote Trouble in Florida, AGAIN ?

Remember the rumors about vote tampering with the computerized voting in Ohio ? Well, that plot just thickened in . . . you'll never guess . . . Florida !

Yes, the BlackBoxVoting folks, who have been pursuing this thing like Javert, just perfomed a wildly successful hack on Diebold machines that were sold to counties all over the country as "hack proof".

Actually, it appears that it was as taking sugary treats from an infant. BlackBox's expert hacker turned a "2 yes, 6 No" test vote into a "7 yes, 1 No" vote just by manipulating the "memory card" that was itself supposed to be unhackable. Then the "mother ship" central processing failed to detect the hack.

The chips are beginning to fall. Diebold's chairman has resigned (he who promised to deliver Ohio for Bush).

Florida's Leon County (site of the hacking demo) has dumped the Diebold machines and is seeking funds to replace them.

Vote early, vote often, vote on paper.
