Considering the vast plethora of problems reported in the past two elections, as well as the ease with which electronic voting machines can be compromised (see Hacking Democracy, amongst many other demos online), One might think we’ve learned a thing or two and improved the process. But since there are already documented cases of votes being switched in a number of places during early voting, it is apparent that we haven’t. Toss in a bunch of illegal voter registration purging, and things appear a bit more concerning.

(I can cite sources all of the above statements, but I’m too lazy. And I’m not a journalist.)

For all you connected people out there, you can use Twitter to report any issues to Twitter Vote Report, which will aggregate the voting issues on election day (and before). Who knows if anyone important will notice trends and try to correct them, but it doesn’t hurt to make the information known.

Now, go vote.
