| The thot plickens in California. As most of you now, I am pretty much against the current crop of e-Voting machines. Initial reports from independant security researchers led me to believe the things were grossly unsafe, mainly from a security standpoint. It seems that the initial reports were right, these things ARE easily hacked. So much so, that the California's Secretary of State ordered an independant review that revealed many security flaws, some as simple as default passwords of '12345678'. Here are some links to get up to date on the saga:
