I just read an article in Rolling Stone about this, it's incredible. Figures such a flawed device would be used...

Hacking Democracy was the title of the documentary, and I think it must have aired already, because it was on Google Video a couple weeks ago and I watched it on there.

Umm, coming a from a political family who teaches people how to work the machines and take in the count, that is completely untrue. The cheating in the past hasn't been "losing" ballots. It has been ghost voting so to speak, now it is just easier with computers.
