Couldn't agree more. considering that having Bush in power so far has resulted in thousands of American soldiers and marines dead and untold numbers injured or maimed, I suppose someone who commits election fraud should be tried as if they killed thousands of people.

The way to do it effectively would be with independent machines for generating and verifying a paper trail, complete with digital signatures represented as bar codes. The software that runs on both systems would need to be open source, and the private keys used to generate the signatures would need to be kept under lock and key.What's pathetic is, it's not really that hard.

E-Voting is fine, if and only if there is a paper ballot to back it up to be counted after the evotes are counted. It doesn't help when states and the government want to skimp on funds, and then bitch when something goes wrong. Add in the fact that companies like Diebold (who make allloootttt of the evoting machines) are morally bankrupt and will screw an election either way (ie to the Republicans or Democrats, depending on the highest bidder), and you have one f**ked up democracy.

I didn't even know the GOP built servers. Are they using taxpayer money for their assembly? What kind of processors are they using? Do taxpayers pay for those as well. The GOP should stick to the political arena. The high tech server market is a tough business.

I just read about this same thing and the possibility of it happening again at this blog:<a class="user" href="http://absolute.corruptpower.com/index.php?id=1">http://absolute.corruptpower.com/index.php?id=1</a>

They don't even claim that any votes were altered, just that one bonehead claimed that it was possible.
