[OT] some info you need to know

I had this on rss feeds last night and thought it would be a good idea to pass 
it on:

"How to Steal an Election"
http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/evoting.ars

I highly recommend reading this along with the followups at:

1. http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=202852&cid=16595762
2. http://arstechnica.com/etc/How_to_steal_an_election-ArsTechnica.pdf

These are very informative and Open source is mentioned, but only as a 
possible alternative....
