What is more frightening on Halloween than an attack on the reliability of our voting system? This is the question cartoonist Tom Tomorrow asks in an episode from his comic strip This Modern World (This Modern World: Something Truly Terrifying). See, my E-Voting Archives for more info on how truly scary this is.

UPDATE 1200 PT

Siva Vaidhyanathan reprints an article from the The Chronicle of Higher Education on the additional notice-and-takedown letters Diebold has been sending to universities whose students are standing up against Diebold's bullying (3 More Colleges Receive Cease-and-Desist Letters From Maker of Voting Machines). Of course, the article is already seriously out of date. See, the Why War? website for an update list, but at least three more universities (in addition to the one's in the article) have received notice-and-takedown letters as well (Targeting Diebold with Electronic Civil Disobedience). Of course, this won't get Diebold very far ... mirrors are appearing much faster than letters being sent.

On a personal note, a friend of mine was the intended target of one of the notice-and-takedown letters. More later when he has decided how he intends to respond.
