This was just in my inbox, from my statistician friend. And it is very timely, since I was just discussing with Dawn how mad I am that we are an election-stoler-enabling nation now. If any of you have HBO, watch this if you are interested.

"Hacking Democracy" is the shocking story of Diebold voting machine security flaws up until the Leon County, FL Hursti hack.
"Hacking Democracy" stops in point of time before the story of Emery County, UT Diebold Hursti II hack that occurred in Utah in March, 2006 and was instrumental in causing Diebold's voting machine security flaws to be called "the worst security flaws ever found in a voting system" (although it turns out that the same security flaw had been previously discovered three years earlier in 2003, kept secret by Linda Lamone, MD Election Director who was President of the National Association of State Election Directors at the time, and never fixed by Diebold to this day!) The responsible actions of County Clerk Bruce Funk of Emery County, UT caused the Diebold voting system flaws to finally be reported in mainstream US press - including the NY Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, Newsweek, and many others. It also caused the Utah Lt. Governor's office to influence Emery County Commissioners, in a secret executive session meeting with two Diebold representatives, to change the locks on the door to Funk's office to prevent the 23 year elected official from going to work afterwards, despite Funk's elected office!

I'm so tired of the mudslinging and all that goes on during the campaign trail that I almost don't want to vote. However, I also feel that every vote counts, so I do make it out to the polls afterall.
John: yes, both sides, but especially the Republicans, like to make it all look like mudslinging. In this election, however, there are sooooo many things to sling mud about--that are legitimate--that making everyone just feel like it is mud is their modus operandi. It functions the same as all those things out there on the web that make Bush look like a joke: if you are laughing about him being a joke, chances are good you don't imagine that he is a really cunning criminal. We all have to be smart and separate the lame mudslinging from the actual horrific issues, the hearsay plants vs. the documentable evidence. And increasingly, our media is NO HELP with that task.
