[Peace-discuss] electronic voting fraud

[patton paul]

Here's a very interesting article about the vunerability of electronic
voting machines- already coming into use in some states- to undetected
tampering.  The software is proprietory, under the control of
corporations with known Republican sympathies, and has already resulted in
some suspiciously anomalous Republican victories.  The article is long, so
I'll post the URL rather than the whole thing.
