Diebold Flops in Alaska 255
lukej writes "From the Anchorage Daily News, During yesterday's preliminary and ballot measure election across Alaska, Diebold built voting machines failed to 'phone home' causing a hand recount. As a party spokesperson said:
"I can say there are many systematic problems with Diebold machines that have been identified in many contexts."
Additionally, the state itself has mandated some hand counts of all electronic results, and the Democratic Party is simply suggesting voters request paper voting."

But why not go all the way? Let the Indians do the actual voting! Many Americans don't care anyway and with a population about 5 times bigger the participation is bound to skyrocket. And, (tongue-slightly-in-cheek) Americans pick the wrong guys...

I'd rather hear this speech.
My Fellow Americans,
Today we embark on...eh, fuck that. One half of all government workers, including the military, will be fired. Tomorrow, the same. And so on, until the government is one one-hundredth the size it is now. Term limits are one year, for every position. If no one runs for an office, someone will be chosen randomly.
Thanks, and here's my two week notice. Oh, and I am screwing Condi.
