I was wondering why anonymous and/or lulzsec hadn’t targeted e-voting systems. They seem like a prime, low-hanging fruit in their campaign of nihilism. Apparently someone associated with them in the past thought the same and hacked into the Florida Voting systems database. So the Teabaggers ran a platform of adhering to the Constitution, of obeying its precepts and ideals, and of resisting judicial activism and big government.

These rebate checks are just a way for the politicians in Washington to be able to accept their checks [...] A recount after next year’s presidential election could mean disaster for Cuyahoga County based on problems discovered Tuesday with paper records produced by electronic voting machines.
