I enjoy writing. I don't actually make a living with my English degree, so I keep a blog for fun. The blog is first draft, and as a former editor I apologize for any weird errors that may be present. I do not apologize for writing about things that matter to me. Thanks for reading.

Don't be afraid.

Researchers reveal 'extremely serious' vulnerabilities in e-voting machines

Where democracy goes to Diebold

Be angry and do something to secure your vote.

Think about what your vote really is for just a minute. It is the reflection of your values, your beliefs. You are giving your trust to a candidate, or changing or adding a law, or choosing a judge, or a sheriff. And if someone can change your vote, then you are being robbed. Violated. Enslaved. You are living in a dictatorship if your vote doesn't count.

If this story doesn't trouble voters, then I have lost all hope for the future of America. Last year I wrote about e-voting machines and how scary I thought they were. Does anybody else feel like this? Am I alone? Am I on some surreal island that is supposed to be the United States, but not really?

God help us.
