How to Win the U.S Elections

Juicy barbecues, hugging babies, in between offering, and asking for the Moon days are over. E-voting is the future of technological political engineering. So, how can you win the U.S Elections?

01. Ensure one company holds a virtual monopoly in E-voting systems, thus contributing to yet another monocultural insecurity. If it naturally has some competition, insist its systems are placed in key regions, where barbecues wouldn't work.

02. Start a nation-wide PR campaign emphasizing on the benefits of E-voting. Mention it's innovative, it's going to cut costs while providing you with flexibility, the way it provides flexibity to citizens abroad, moreover, also emphasize on the increased speed of the results.

03. Make sure the rural areas where the masses of technologically unsophisticated citizens are the ones taking advantage of this immature concept. The point is that, even if there's an error, they got no chance of defining it.

04. If something "goes wrong" forward all the responsibility to the virtual monopolist, and promise pracautions against future possiblities for modifying the results -- anyway, sorry folks the elections are over, so till next time keep on speculating what actually happened.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, where we should perhaps thank Jessus for coming up with more colours in live, than black and white only, I stumbled upon an Unredacted Diebold Black Box Voting Hack Reports with quite some disturbing images. Make sure the efficincy that you wish for, doesn't actually happen. A friend also tipped me on this quite longish report on the topic, and didn't forget to warn me to remove my 3D glassess before reading it either.

UPDATE : Interesting political reading related to veto power.
