Jon Stewart E-voting video clip with Dobbs, etc. up now - excellent!

It’s on Thursday, part 1. There are four parts to Thursday’s show. It’s very good.

He talks about the “Diebold Acu-claw.”

First the voter touches the name of his preferred candidate in any given race, then he touches the button here, where…..things….happen.

What kind of things?

Well, we don’t really know. They are built by private companies which count out votes on proprietary software. We don't really have a right to know what goes on inside those.

Why are we doing this?

Well, this is the new technology, Jon. You don’t ask why, you just buy it.
These machines are….shiny.

3. Agree
Looked like crap, and didn't stream smoothly. I'll wait until I get home from work & see it off the DVR.
