technologyreview.com — What Americans should be most worried about this November, say elections experts like Thad Hall, a political scientist at the University of Utah, is not that someone might hack the Diebold machine they're using to vote--but that their names might disappear from the rolls entirely.

That's ok. I'm sure for every name that disappears, names will appear. Democrats are so passionate about politics that they vote even after they're dead.

No, what Americans should be _most_ worried about is dragging their lazy butts to the polls.This guy either doesn't have a clue or is willfully ignoring just how primitive the voter reigstration 'systems' were prior to the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). Take all of his complaints about interstate compatibility and apply it at the _county_ level. That is what the state of the world was prior to HAVA.So now instead of roughly 3,000 independent boards of election to try to deal with, we have approximately 50 (i'm not sure the exact extent of HAVA) independent bodies to integrate.Are we really complaining that the government undersized a project? Baby steps people...
