Remember in the summer of ’06 when citizen Election Integrity advocates from the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project<\/a> (IBIP) discovered that Chicago’s voter registration system was hackable, and allowed for access to voters’ private information, such as Social Security number etc?<\/p>\n

Looks like a similar thing has now been discovered in Pennsylvania<\/a>, where their online voter registration system has now been taken offline after it was found that anyone was able to access other voters’ registration information.<\/p>\n

We can’t even do online registration<\/em> securely, and yet Democrats have been talking about actually voting<\/i> by Internet?! There is, apparently, no bad<\/em> voting idea (touch-screen voting machines, “paper-trails,” vote-by-mail, now Internet voting) that Democrats aren’t all too willing to leap at before bothering to look.<\/p>\n

Of course, where Democrats fail with often the best of intentions, Republicans often aim<\/em> to “fail” in the first place with such systems. We’re still not sure exactly which of those is worse. Either way, there seems to be plenty of failure to go around these days. Luckily, there’s nothing important coming up for voters in Pennsylvania anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
