Open Thread

The flu has assaulted our household. So far, I’ve been holding out against the germ-spreaders, but I’m beginning to come down with it now. Of course, I’d gladly get the flu if it would make James Carville, Paul Begala, and Rush Limbaugh crawl back to the 1990’s.

They also made clear this wasn’t a PERMANENT ban on computer voting. We’ll see.

From this report: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/03/03/europe/EU-Germany-Voting-Ma chines.php:

Judge Andreas Vosskuhle stressed that the court was not banning machines for good, but said the machines used so far did not meet its standards.
