The Nation: 2008 will go down as a year activists were able to keep a rotten electoral system honest

And I'd say "relatively honest," cuz 'TRADE SECRET' vote counting--without even a paper trail (no recount even possible) in half the systems in the country, and very poor audit/recount controls in the other half, is fraudulent upfront. It is a fraudulent system. It is made-to-order for fraud. This NON-TRANSPARENT vote counting system is NOT okay. It puts the country in grave peril. We may be able to outvote the machines, but can we outvote them in a close race, in troubled times, say 2012?

Your guess is as good as mine. There should NO GUESS WORK in our election system. Right now, we would have a hard time proving that Obama was actually elected. Do you realize that? Half the country has NO PAPER TRAIL. And the other half counts only 1% of the actual ballots. Not good. Don't let the corpo/fascist 'news' monopolies make you stupid. Be smart. Fight for fully transparent vote counting!
