More on 'Black Box Voting'

While looking for more information on the new electronic voting machines, I found a sited called Verified Voting.org which is an organizational site for people interested in helping fight the new voting machines. They have a lot of information on the problems with the machines, what kind of steps can be taken to help ensure that even with electronic voting machines each vote is counted for the candidate the voter actually selected and resources for finding out more about the issue. I would strongly recommend spending some serious time there checking it out!

Also, I've uploaded a copy of the recent report by SAIC for the state of Maryland showing that there are a number high-risk security issues with the machines. This is the report that the state of Maryland commissioned and then ignored when it decided to go ahead and buy the machines anyway. The report is in PDF format.
