Sean-Paul's Agonist has been following a story that probably should get more airtime. It's about Diebold and their voting machines.

I rather like the lever machines my county uses. It really is too bad no one makes them anymore. The lever machines, while they have their problems (mainly because they're older than dirt), have a paper trail. The electronic machines do not. One well-placed magnet could wipe out tons of votes, or someone could easily change votes (which the state of Maryland seems to have found out even though they're using them anyway).

Diebold also makes credit card machines. My school uses Diebold credit card swipers. I just noticed that Saturday.
