[ale] OT: electronic voting info

Ooh, I like that last line, "backdoor via an Access MDB with no password"

"Salon has an interesting article/interview with the author of a 
forthcoming book, Black Box Voting, by Bev Harris, that looks at 
electronic voting machines, especially Diebold touchscreens. The story 
includes incriminating internal memos, cease and desist orders from 
Diebold, transcripts of an industry teleconference where Harris Miller 
of the ITAA brags of his lobbying experience, and documentation of a 
backdoor via an Access MDB with no password. This is for software 
currently being used in 37 states. "
