The good news on the gerrymandering front is that there are mathematicians that are working on models and simulations that can objectively quantify gerrymandering. While the court has found gerrymandering illegal they have lacked an objective measure and that seems to be forthcoming. Just read today they are looking for volunteers and training people. Google it.

On the voting machines, wow that's been a big issue for over a decade! "Bradblog" is one that covered a lot of issues early on. It's a mess. They are software. Not verifiable. No paper trail. A design disaster. One can only hope that with the increasing awareness of hacking and it's potential impact people will finally take notice.

I won't stop voting though. If you vote and complain, OK, but if you don't vote (or at least try) don't complain.
