Go figure that a bunch of urban, liberal technogeeks would be worried that an election might be hacked. As if there were an army of Republican coding specialists just waiting to pounce on thousands of machines in hundreds of precincts in order to guarantee a certain outcome.
The only reason we're having this debate is because the Democrat Party tried to STEAL the Florida vote in 2000 with hanging chads and dimpled voter intentions. That was the real outrage. A "paper trail" is as easily manipulated as an electronic one when every vote is seeming to count.
Maybe we should just text message our votes. The MTV crowd favored by John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean know all about how to do that. Make the election seem like American Idol or Rock Band SuperStar and we'll have incredible turnout on election day.
