Reuters (50 minutes ago): "At least 51 of the Senate's 55 Republicans, along with at least one Democrat, plan to vote for Alito, according to an unofficial tally based on statements and interviews with lawmakers and aides in the 100-member chamber.... Democrats have not threatened a filibuster since they do not appear to have the votes to sustain such a procedural roadblock.

Because of the Milk Club’s rec...

Diebold allows memory cards with visual basic script to alter votecount
Can you tell us about some of your e-voting machine hacking activities? On Tuesday, Dec. 13, we conducted a hack of the Diebold AccuVote optical scan device.

It requires physical access to a machine, which in many counties isn’t very difficult to get -- you have elections offices full of volunteers....
