Tomorrow's New York Times Magazine cover story:
It's only eight years too late, and probably too late to make a difference this fall. But at least it isn't only "those crazy bloggers" and the banished-from-American-media Greg Palast talking about the voting machines anymore.
After you read this article, think about Florida 2000. Think about Ohio 2004. Think about how the world would be different if the strange goings-on in Volusia County in 2000 had been made public before the Supreme Court handed the 2000 election to George W. Bush. Imagine how the world would be different without the Ohio voting shenanigans of 2004. We have been presided over by a lunatic for the last eight years because of a voting apparatus that doesn't work, that's run by partisan hacks, using technology that precinct workers don't understand, that doesn't work properly, that is not secured, and that is built by companies led by open partisans. And only now has it gotten into the mainstream press.
And this is the country that has been spouting "democracy" at the rest of the world.
Pathetic.
