It’s that time of year. I’ve been doing a lot of talking<\/i> lately, on a bunch of media outlets. That means I haven’t been able to write and report here as much as I might like of late. In any case, below is one of those appearances, from earlier today, on RT America with anchor Kristine Frazao, in reference to a Christian Science Monitor<\/i> article from last Friday, by Mark Clayton, accurately headlined: “Could e-voting machines in Election 2012 be hacked? Yes.”<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s nice to see stories we reported here at The BRAD BLOG<\/a> as long as six years ago, many of them exclusively, finally covered in mainstream media outlets, as the CS Monitor<\/i> piece does. It’s also fun to see them quoting the term “sleepover” — in regard to vulnerable voting machines being sent home with poll workers for days or weeks before Election Day — a phrase that this blog has been credited with coining about six years ago as well.<\/p>\n

I realize that sounds sarcastic, but I don’t actually mean it that way. If it all leads to more public discussion and awareness of these concerns, even six years late and six days<\/i> before a Presidential Election, when it is, by and large, too late to do a damned thing about any of it before the election, I’ll take it — no matter how late it comes…<\/p>\n
