Ex-Pat Voting System Excoriated (or how to steal an election 101)
An Internet voting system developed by the Pentagon for U.S. citizens overseas is so vulnerable to attacks that it should be scrapped, four computer security experts said in a report released Wednesday.

But the Pentagon is standing by the system, which could get its first test Feb. 3 in South Carolina's primary election.

1. Looks like the BushCo Pentagon will be tossing this
ugly little report right into a $25,000 latrine, or whatever.

Remember the "Pentagon Purge" last summer? BushCo began purging all Brass who were not "True Believers."

The fix is in.

2. I can't say I particularly trust this system myself.
No paper trail, once again, and since officers in the military are almost 100% Republican, well...........
