From the just released GAO report “ELECTIONS: All Levels of Government Are Needed to Address Electronic Voting System Challenges”: “Election officials, computer security experts, citizen advocacy groups, and others have raised significant concerns about the security and reliability of electronic voting systems, citing vague or incomplete standards, weak security controls, system design flaws, incorrect system configuration, poor security management, and inadequate security testing, among other issues. These security and reliability concerns are legitimate and thus merit the combined and focused attention of federal, state, and local authorities responsible for election administration.”…

Brad, I am very disappointed that neither your name nor Bev Harris’s were on the leaked Pulitzer Prize finalists list.
Overlooked again. Thanks for noticing, Adam 😉
(Actually, while websites are *certainly* not eligible for Pulitzer’s, unfortunately, I was suprised to learn a year or so ago that *magazines* aren’t either. Fancy that. Oh, well, no Pulitizer for TIME or NEWSWEEK.)
He who does the news for rewards or pay will become corrupt … clue: MSM … bloggers do it by heart, not by lust.
That is why we are always ahead of the curve. And stop trying to blow blue smoke up Brad’s ass … he is above that and has acknowledged in the past that a blog is composted of all its parts … including bloggers.
Unlike the MSM … which is composed of reading scripts and brown-nosing in the hopes that a few morsels will be thrown down to the dogs.
Fuck fame … up with truth …
Wow, Dredd, I meant that tongue-in-cheek (as are my trademark characterizations of the MSM). You make excellent and valid points (except that bit about smoke and donkeys). So, when is Brad Friedman going to be on TV bantering with Rosie O’Donnell?
