Spoke with writer Rachel Konrad this morning. She said she was quite surprised at the level of public awareness of this issue. Most people she interviewed were not at all confident that their vote was being properly recorded.

2. loved this quote....

<snip>
The companies that run this software aren't smart enough to compete against an 8-year-old hacker," said Shawn Taylor, a 31-year-old writer in Oakland. "As soon as my vote leaves the screen, someone with an agenda can manipulate it."

4. Since it's an AP story it should show up in many places

It apparently at one time had links at the bottom to a Diebold site and a 'Black Box Voting site,' but they were not visible or active in the ABC web page.

Edit: realized Bev already pointed out that it's AP.

6. Now might be a good time to give Moyers a call...

it might break the story into Prime Time, memos and all.

7. Will do. (tomorrow) -- the tipping point arriveth

junkdrawer, you've been great -- but you sure use a lot fewer words than I do. I'm envious. My typing always runneth over.
