Lynching by laptop

The idea that we are going to move to computerized voting scares the crap out of me, specifically because I work on computers. Now, after less than one election cycle since Bush's "Help American vote" initiative mandated electronic voting, we see that not only doesn't it work, it blatantly doesn't work. Add to this the requirement that all states "clean up" their voting rolls using the same methods that disenfranchised 57,000 innocent peope in Florida during the 2000 election and you've got Lynching by Laptop.

(NOTE: This article gives a different number of voters than another that shows 89,300 innocent voters disenfranchised.)
