If Ohio was going to be hacked, and it didn't happen, thank DU.

14. There has been progress but

we still have a long way to go. Bleever makes a good point about Ohio and MCM rightly credits all the activists who continue to fight this largely unknown battle. It still saddens me though that tens of millions of US citizens still vote on paperless, electronic voting machines. And I also miss the days on this DU forum after the 2004 election. This was one of the only places you could talk about the election issue and this site, led by its unofficial leader Andy Stephenson, inspired me to get involved in my state of Connecticut. We were days away from getting DREs for the whole state of Connecticut when the group I was part of, TrueVoteCT, held a press conference and we were able to get the state to purchase opscan instead. Here in Connecticut we still have problems in the election process but we do audit the machines and have a paper ballot. Far from perfect but much better than what we almost had.
