"In Tuesday's primary in Maryland, Avi Rubin, a professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins university and specialist in the security of electronic voting was an election judge and has now published a detailed report on what he saw. Definitely worth reading."

A Fair Vote. The most important action on which a democratically-elected (except for when the courts step in) society turns, and the society cannot get this one action right in over 200 years. From the days of Tammany Hall to today, and corruption refuses to be weeded out by this body of people.

Modern man. Brainy.

If I count this right, and Montgomery is still 2-1 for Edwards, that puts the race back at a tie, not counting the absentee ballots (which are probably a wash). This is going to take a while.

should we be starting a major push to have Dems vote by Absentee? Particularly absentee that then gets turned in ON election day? Get tons of people doing that and it might just get noticed that people have completely lost faith in computerized, non-paper trail voting. Maybe?

The WaPo has three articles this morning about the Edwards-Wynn race and voting problems.

As Ballots Are Counted, Wynn's Unbeatable Status Is Questioned notes that the race is close enough that the winner can't be declared until the absentee and provisional ballots are counted.

Bureaucrat Takes Blame in Vote Fiasco is of course about the voter machine access cards that were left out of the packets, causing the delays and excessive use of provisional ballots in Montgomery County on Tuesday.

Worse to Come in Fall Elections, Officials Fear is about problems with the Diebold machines, some of which reared their ugly head on Tuesday.

But nowhere does the WaPo say the obvious - that Tuesday's voting problems could well have tipped the balance in the Edwards-Wynn race.
