Bertie Ahern wants to throw out the 'stupid ol' pencils,' and bring in electronic voting. But we would be stupider than the pencils if we fall for this. Decisions by many US states to convert to electronic voting machines have yielded new concerns about whether they are secure and accurate, about paper records as backup proof and -- this year -- about whether the electronic or paper record should be considered the official tally if a candidate demands a recount. And on a Utube video, a computer software expert and whistleblower reveals to a congressional committee how he was asked to design a simple system to rig electronic votiing in Florida. And it wasn't hard to flip a 51/49 vote either way, with no one the wiser. when electronic voting is brought in the door, democracy goes out the window. read full story / add a comment

As coalition policy reaches a crisis, may I resurrect an idea? It offers a way out of the current debate whether to "stay the course" (as President George W. Bush has long advocated) or to withdraw troops on a short timetable (as his critics demand). My solution splits the difference, "Stay the course – but change the course." I suggest pulling coalition forces out of the inhabited areas of Iraq and redeploying them to the desert. read full story / add a comment
