I've posted a bunch of stuff from Bruce Schneier over the years. He's the most widely known computer security expert, who has broadened his field greatly after 9/11 and now writes extensively on real world security. I think his technical background serves him very well, and I really am hoping there is some place for him in some under secretary role in a Dem administration. Or short of that I hope they read him at least. If I was president I'd put him in charge of Homeland Security (if for some reason I couldn't abolish that department - or at least rename it!)
Anyway, here's a post of his about the California voting Machine audit results. Follow up post is here. It's a little technical, but not too bad. Long story short: all the machines are easily hackable. We knew this already, but it still is nice to have some actual details. Posted for future reference if nothing else.
The voting machine companies whined up a storm about this. Santa Clara County is reverting to "old-fashioned" paper ballots, which will force voter to "wait hours"!!!. ZOMG, I'll have to wait hundreds of minutes to find out who my new city council members are??? The horror!
