It is my sincere hope that some American heros will sacrifice their careers and go to jail for the sake of hacking as many Diebold machines as possible so that all votes are given to a third-party candidate in their district.
I don't believe anyone here considers that an invadable offense, so have at it. (And I have fond memories of screaming British tabloid headlines after the 2004 election.)
I will weather the scorn of people both foreign and domestic about this, whether it takes the form of "Suck it up, crybabies" or "WTF is wrong with you Yanks". The fact is that the implementation of the physical electoral layer has changed dramatically in this country since 2000, and there has been almost no accountability for it.
If a democracy's principal interface with its people is suspect, that democracy should be considered compromised, and requires deep diagnostics.
It certainly seems odd that, for a country that apparently has a Mission from God to export Democracy to other nations, America doesn't appear to actually be very good at it.
On the bright side, rioting and the collapse of civilisation are quite bad for business, and at least we know business always gets whatever it wants regardless of who's in power.

I do not want to see any live vote hacking going on by anybody. I don't want any voter's vote to be ignored, or reported falsely. Ever.

Too late.

Any particular suggestions on this front? It seems like it's a point that needs to be made, but very few people seem interested in listening.
