OK, boys and girls, the Diebold voting machines are eminently hackable. Apologists notwithstanding, that's the fact.

A modest proposal: hack the vote.

Let's put together a team of crack hackers (original definition) to protect the vote. As I see it, we would need two teams. The network gurus would monitor transmission and access, creating a verifiable evidence trail of when transmissions were made, from where, to where, time and duration. Then the forensics gurus would be on hand to verify the integrity of the hard drives. They may be able to erase the Access logs, but they can't erase the trails on the platters. I'm being overly simplistic, but you get the point.

It really doesn't matter what you're politics are. A rigged election just ain't right.
