Indiana voters
I know of quite a few people who were arrested monday and over the weekend for traffic tickets. My girlfriend son is 19 and this is his first time voting, well it would have been. The police came to his job to lock him up for a traffic ticket and he cannot get out until he is seen in court. So even if he posted his $5,000 bail he wouldn't be let go. All this over a $135 ticket from 9 months ago. He says most everyone in the holding is around his age and in for the same thing. He lives in Carmel Indiana but the same thing happen to my friend who lives in Ft.Wayne Indiana..How sneaky is that.

Judge Suppresses Report on Voting Machine Security
Judge Suppresses Report on Voting Machine Security
By Andrew Appel - Posted on October 2nd, 2008 at 6:45 am
A judge of the New Jersey Superior Court has prohibited the scheduled release of a report on the security and accuracy of the Sequoia AVC Advantage voting machine. Last June, Judge Linda Feinberg ordered Sequoia Voting Systems to turn over its source code to me (serving as an expert witness, assisted by a team of computer scientists) for a thorough examination. At that time she also ordered that we could publish our report 30 days after delivering it to the Court--which should have been today.
Three weeks after we delivered the report, on September 24th Judge Feinberg ordered us not to release it. This is part of a lawsuit filed by the Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic, seeking to decommission of all of New Jersey's voting computers. New Jersey mostly uses Sequoia AVC Advantage direct-recording electronic (DRE) models. None of those DREs can be audited: they do not produce a voter verified paper ballot that permit each voter to create a durable paper record of her electoral choices before casting her ballot electronically on a DRE. The legal basis for the lawsuit is quite simple: because there is no way to know whether the DRE voting computer is actually counting votes as cast, there is no proof that the voting computers comply with the constitution or with statutory law that require that all votes be counted as cast.
The question of whether this report can legally be suppressed was already argued once in this Court, in June 2008, and the Court concluded then that it should be released..."
