ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

They don't have to do it in the voting booth.
What we discovered at our last election was that precinct captains, or their designated persons, were taking the machines at home at night to "protect" them.
And of course no precinct captain, or their designated persons, would EVER tamper with a voting machine now would they? Right?  Right?
Personally, I think we need an outside party to monitor all of our elections.  Sort of like we monitor elections in other countries.
