So, I was perusing "Remarks by Secretary Napolitano at Today’s Media Briefing on the H1N1 Flu Outbreak and the U.S. Government’s Response" on the DHS website (because that's JUST the kind of light, amusing reading I like to do before I've had my coffee, don'tcha know!) and I ran into a quote that seemed a little... troubling.

Today I got an email from my son in law, who commented:

So that pent-up, anti-Obama anger is going to be taken out on children.

followed by a link to a story of a fairly hateful incident on a school bus--naw, no, come on back, I swear I'm going to make it up to you. There's a bit of cheerfulness to be had, if you'll indulge me and follow me over the fold. Trust me! It gets better! </Billy Crystal>

Sequoia Voting Systems, a major provider of electronic voting machines to the United States, has a little problem with its security. Turns out, the machines are not so difficult to tamper with--even the paper trail can be jiggered as well. Follow me below the fold for the rest of the story...

Oh my goodness, I wasn't sure I'd really seen this, but there it was in all its bizarre glory...

There will be no more sleepovers with voting equipment in Ohio.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner issued a directive today forbidding the practice in Fairfield County and at least 22 other counties of having voting machines and other equipment taken home the night before an election by poll workers or others and brought to polling locations on Election Day.

Huh, who'd have thought this would actually be an issue? Really?
