A manual for electoral apocalypse in America. Quite a bit's been written both on MeFi and other places about how bad Diebold machines are.

Tonight, Ars posted a very thorough, very clear article about how we are completely screwed if we do not enact expensive, fundamental changes in how we handle elections in America. It's too late to do anything about the elections in a couple weeks, but perhaps steps can be taken to fix things before 2008...
