2. I want to congratulate the Nashville media

Seriously - this article is well-written, accurate and not, in any way, snarky. Maybe there's hope for some in the corporate media:

Among the top concerns of the group is the lack of an election ''paper trail.'' Electronic voting machines are not audited for accuracy and provide no receipt. With complaints that some machines registered a vote for President George Bush when voters selected Sen. John Kerry, rally organizers said the need for an auditing mechanism is clear.

Controversy about the machines surfaced last year after the chief executive of one of the main providers of the machines, Diebold, Inc., wrote that he was ''committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president.''

The CEO, Walden O'Dell, later changed his company's policy to prohibit top officials from engaging in any political activity except voting.

''We need to either go back to a paper ballot or get a receipt, just like you get when you use your ATM card,'' said Alma Sanford of the Tennessee Democratic Party. ''If people don't have confidence in elections, we don't have a democracy anymore.''
