If Florida in 2000 was not enough to fix the way we do elections in this country, what will be enough?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Here's a story on the OH software patch:
Is Ohio voting software vulnerable to fraud? Court to hear Election Day case - CSMonitor.com
A federal lawsuit filed Monday in Columbus, Ohio, charges the secretary of state's office with illegally installing untested software on voting systems in dozens of counties – a step that creates a digital “back door,” which someone wishing to alter vote totals might be able to exploit.
...
The suit alleges that the secretary of state's office used a legal loophole to install software on electronic voting systems in 39 counties across the state without having it checked by the Ohio Board of Voting Machine Examiners, the state's technical board charged with reviewing elections software. State officials say they have followed federal guidelines and that the equipment is secure.

Tommyrot: Hard evidence that one party deliberately planned to cheat prior to the election and then executed that plan on election day, in a way widespread enough to effect a federal election.
As an example, evidence that OH secretary had commissioned a software patch, then sat on it until the last minute, released it, and it was made in such a way to affect the presidential election...

CaBil, maybe I'm just too cynical but I feel even this won't change anything.

I have several friends on FB (all white!) who were asked for ID (illegal where they are). They both were like "if I were in a swing state I'd call and protest but ill let those have the resources" ( both tried to educate at the actual polling place in case it was ignorance rather than malice)
And I just got a door-to-door Obama canvasser making sure my vote was mailed in!! I was glad to tell him it was in and on his side. ;)

Oh, I should point out this software patch is not in the voting machines themselves, but in the system that tabulates results.

I still do not understand why the OH SoS is not behind bars.

Teppy, how much news coverage is this getting in OH?
Also, there was supposed to be a ruling this morning. Heard anything?
