This morning, NPR's Weekend Edition covered the latest trouble with Diebold's touch-screen systems. They went to Pottsville, PA during last Tuesday's primary election.

The producer on the story had contacted us last week, prior to the story, for some background information. The resultant report, aired this morning, was generally a good -- and for a chance, accurate! -- one, we think.

Presumably they get a count of how many downloads and emails the story gets so let's be sure and hit the thing hard!

2. I heard it yesterday

and nearly fell off my chair. They gave far more time to one of our very best champions Avi Rubin and far less to the wanker from Diebold.

It was amazingly refreshing and one of the best pieces they've done in ages.

Keep spreading this one 'round.
