US Election dirty tricks move online---junk emails, DDOS attacks, you name it

Nov 01, 2004 19:34

A useful site, www.mypollingplace.com, that showed a voter their nearest polling place, was hacked and is now offline. Many prank emails such as this one supposedly from Joe Lockhart saying he has had a last minute change of heart and now wishes to vote republican, or this saying republicans should vote on November 3rd. Constant DDOS attacks aimed at taking out the #1 EV prediction website, electoral-vote.com. Three million fake votes spammed into last week's MSNBC online "who will you vote for" poll. Calls on both sidesto "freep" (stuff) all manner of online polls.
