I've always wondered what sound Democracy would make if it died.Last night, I found out in Santa Clara, California. The sound it makes is a deafening silence, and it sent chills up and down my spine. This sound scared me more than anything I've ever heard in my life.
Last night, I experienced the illusion of casting my vote on a state of the art touch screen "DRE" (direct recording electronic) computer voting system. ...

If you try that demo, you'll get three pages of votes to cast, with the third page consisting of two referendums. Once you vote on those, hit the "Review" button. Oops, it didn't record your votes on those referendums!
But wait. There's more. Click on one of those referendums to re-cast those votes. This time, hit the "Next" button. Your votes were recorded this time. Fine, but now try to go back and change one of those votes. It won't let you!
I sure hope the real ones work better!
