Need Help Quick! List of websites explaining Electronic Voting Equipment

[NoBushSpokenHere]

Please help quick, I am preparing a LTTE and want to include a list of good websites that would appeal to both parties as a bit of education for the general public. Yes, I have hoards of them bookmarked, but not on this pc.

Thanks in advance!

2. If I may summarize?

Go to your local CompUSA.

Walk up to any of their PCs.

Start up Microsoft Access.

You now have the equivelent of these voting machines.

Want to vote? Create a table with two columns, Name and votes. Create two records. One for your guy. One for his opponent. Cast your vote by adding 1 to your guys votes column.

Now, walk away from the machine.

This voting machines amazing security now allows anyone to make any change they desire, without trace. They can wipe out your vote. They can add 10 votes for the other guy. They can create and run a program that will change the other guys votes to be 110% of your guys votes. To switch every other vote to the other guy, no matter what they were supposed to be.

The machine is WIDE open. And the software is so buggy that it doesn't look odd if someone needs to apply a last minute patch, say, on the evening before election day, but after the machines and software have been checked out by election officials. Even though machines in other nearby counties aren't having the same "problem."

The things are worse than crap. They are DELIBERATE crap.

"Hangin's too good fer 'em. Burnin's too good for 'em. They should be cut up into little tiny pieces and BURIED ALIVE!" (I'm referring to the electronic voting machines, of course.)

(2 points for whoever identifies that quote first.)

This page is by a computer scientist who has testified to the North Carolina State Legislature.

There is amazing stuff on his page, all factual, non partisan.
