C3ntaur's Journal: Hack the vote

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I've come to the conclusion that the best thing that could happen tomorrow is if the vote does get hacked. In a very obvious, blatant way. I don't care which way it goes -- all Republicrats or all Democans, it really makes no difference. But it needs to be a spectacular, in-your-face failure of the electronic infrastructure Diebold and friends have shoved down our throats for the last 6+ years, and the lax polling and vote counting procedures we've endured for decades. Voting needs to be open and verifiable, and there are lots of ways to do it. Here's one.

I hope a tremendous failure at the polls will piss off John and Jane Q. Public enough to demand real change and real accountability at all levels: federal, state, and local. Or maybe it won't. I hope it's not truly too late.
