Am I being an alarmist, is this old news,

[babylonsister]

should this not piss everyone off? I posted this in the a.m.

In voting news, the Pentagon has restricted access to the website overseas voters, both military and civilian, can use for registering to vote, citing attempts to hack it. The story was first reported by the International Herald Tribune. Is the Pentagon, with its billions of dollars, incapable of building a simple website that is difficult to break into? And is the answer to attempted break-ins to disenfranchise overseas voters, including the servicemen and women who are defending this country with their lives? Is this how we support the troops? By taking away their right to vote?

Microsoft and other companies are attacked all the time, and their reaction is to put up strong defenses. Surely the Pentagon is capable of doing what the computer industry does every day?

I recently talked to a knowledgeable source who has been in Iraq for a long time and his impression is that the reservists and national guardsmen there are quite unhappy, especially about having their tours of duty extended. It is not unthinkable this unhappiness might be expressed if they were allowed to vote.

1. This will be the most unetichal election ever.

If John Kerry wins, in spite of it all, then he will have won by a landslide, although it will be reported he won by a slim margin.

John will need a landslide to win & I think he's got it.

If I'm wrong, future elections won't matter. They will simply be the window dressing of democracy.
