NY: EXCLUSIVE: Feds to Sue New York Board Over Military Voting Violations, State Official Sayshttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/10/11/exclusive-feds-sue-new-york-board-military-voting-violations-state-official/ The consent order, Kellner said, would give the federal authorities power to ensure MOVE Act compliance in New York City and four counties -- Putnam, Erie, Niagara and Westchester -- which still hadn't mailed out their absentee ballots as of their latest deadline.
The legal action would mark the most aggressive federal intervention yet amid an ongoing debate over how to enforce compliance with the 2009 Military and Overseas Voters Empowerment Act, known as the MOVE Act. The Department of Justice is expected to intervene in several New York counties that missed deadlines intended to ensure that overseas ballots are sent, received and counted on time.

Yet New York City and several counties' boards of elections still failed to meet that new deadline of October 1.
According to a letter sent to the Pentagon last week by state board of elections officials, New York City, Erie, Niagara, Putnam and Westchester counties all failed to get all their ballots in the mail to military personnel and Americans living abroad.

Internet Voting, totally owned
http://rop.gonggri.jp/?p=380 Alex Halderman and his students have surpassed themselves in a pilot that was organized by the U.S. District of Columbia. Officials there had set up a system for voters abroad to vote over the internet. But before they went live they allowed people to hack the system, so they could proudly show that the system was secure. To make extra sure nobody would get in, they announced this only three days in advance.
The system was so completely owned that I would spoil the fun by telling you exactly what happened.
