I don't think of Foxtrot as a particularly political cartoon, but I like this one.

By the way, why is it that the geeks I know all understand why there must be a papertrail, but many of the non-computer people don't? Is it a variation on computers are magic/perfect?

What scares me is the thought of somebody hacking into them after the voting to change the results, and us not having a paper trail to catch them out at that. Even the non-geekies often believe in conspiracy theories. It ought to be simple: warn the Republicans about the sneaky Democrats and vice-versa.

The Republicans are happy with the new machines at least partially because the maker of the ones to be used in Florida is a heavy Republican contributor. Doesn't that ease your conspiracy worries?

For some reason, the people who are warning us about the dangers of "the Internets" to quote Bush at the debate, don't seem to see hackers as anything more than wayward teenagers.
