All the President’s votes?

Pointer to U.K. Independent article on electronic voting machine issues. “A quiet revolution is taking place in US politics. By the time it’s over, the integrity of elections will be in the unchallenged, unscrutinised control of a few large - and pro-Republican - corporations. Andrew Gumbel wonders if democracy in America can survive”

We’re back…

O.K., so I diddled around and didn’t get my blog back online for a few weeks after the previous server got “hacked” by some semi-competent twit that couldn’t manage to install a rootkit without stomping all over everything. But, I’m back. :)
