    @mdmadph: Thank you, I looked it up, and you are correct. (The things I learn at Giz!) In order to be considered a "a semantic douche" at Giz, however, youre going to have to try a lot harder. The competition for biggest semantic douche at Giz is heated and someone is always one-upping you, but good luck. ;)

    Peeping of women who are changing clothes is a gross breach of privacy (though funny in a movie) but the fact that these were CHILDREN, is more disturbing. I hope they prosecute the agents to the fullest extent of the law and that they not only lose their jobs, but all associated benefits, including retirement. Pedophilia is NEVER acceptable.

    I'm telling you Scully, they're aliens.


    How can you possibly come to that conclusion?


    Look at them, overdeveloped before their time, no body acne. These creatures are obviously some sort of perfectionist race that has an idealized view of the human form.

    Again, I stand by New York's old mechanical voting booths. Gears can't be hacked because the ballot isn't loaded into the machine until it arrives at the polling place and the selection of ballot is randomized.


    The only problem with the machines - getting replacement parts. I'll take a fraud-proofed voting machine with that problem any day.

    I still find it funny that West Virginia has more "advanced" voting systems than my old school voting booths on Long Island. I guess maybe not so advanced apparetly. I dunno, the curtain and lever routine work fine for me.....

    @divideby7: There's a reason that New York fights to keep the old mechanical voting booth - vote security.


    Nothing beats a giant freakin' lever.

    Seriously, has there ever been a safe, untainted method to ensure proper voting?


    No.

    @rock99rock: I think we should move to a tug-of-war system. Literally. Every American voter should meet in Ohio every four years and have a game of tug-of-war to determine the election. Try frauding that system.

    @rock99rock: New York. Mechanical voting booth and a paper ballot overlay.


    The gears ensure no "overvoting" - you can only physically select one candidate for President. The names are written in large, bold, sans-serif letters. There are multiple ballot formats to prevent tampering with the machine offsite beforehand. The totals are verified by multiple people after the ballot insert has been removed.


    It's a beautiful system that has been in place for over a century.
