One week left ’til Election Day 2008, and voter turnout is expected to obliterate records. Of course, whether those record numbers of voters turn into record numbers of counted votes remains to be seen. In addition to the smorgasbord of disasters that could befall your vote before it gets tallied, the first hurdle will be voter registration, creating a gatekeeper you’ll have to pass just to get in the door.
Chances are, your voter registration information has been entered into a computer database run by your state. And chances also are that it’s been entered wrong—no, seriously, it has. As a result of all this error and confusion, just about everyone is worried that legions of voters could be turned away at the polls. Even the Association for Computing Machinery is getting in the act, stating the following in press release:
Experts from ACM’s U.S. Public Policy Committee (USACM) will be monitoring and analyzing the reliability of registration records and voting equipment around the nation as Election Day approaches.
ACM’s report on VRDs [voter registration databases] includes 99 high-level recommendations to help states establish best practices for computerized statewide electronic databases…For example, the ACM report recommends that when driver registration databases are used for eligibility checks, they should apply only to screening voters, not to automatically enrolling or de-enrolling them.
Yes, great idea! Call us when it’s implemented in 2012.
Of course, in the irony of all ironies, NASA is making sure that any Americans currently in orbit are able to vote from space, courtesy of a secure electronic ballot uplinked by the Johnson Space Center. This year, two men aboard the International Space Station plan to cast their ballots from 220 miles above the Earth. Let’s just hope they’ve been reading the news.

——– WE JUST LIVE HERE ——-
WeJustLiveHere.com is a 2008 presidential election site for US aliens. It’s for all of us who live here and pay our taxes, yet have no say in how the country is run.
We’d all love to vote in this election because it impacts us as much as folks who’re just born here. So we put up this site to show what would happen if the millions of US aliens who can’t vote, could.
We’d be more than happy if you could help spread the word.
We’ll also throw alien election night parties around the country, where voters come dressed as aliens. If you’re in the neighborhood, let us know!
More information:
USaliens@wejustlivehere.com
P.S. WeJustLiveHere is completely non-partisan.

there is lot of software on the net. net nanny etc. but remember parental supervision is essential. Kids soon figure out ways to cheat even the most sophisticated software. I could give some 2 second ways to beat even award winning nanny programs but kids would read these answers too.

On your side of the Atlantic, your government put one of your most highly respected playwrites — Oscar Wilde — in jail for two years, at hard labor, just for having sex with men. Your filmmakers made a movie about that event; “The Trials of Oscar Wilde,” was made in 1960, and even in the dialogue of that movie, characters spoke of homosexuality as if it is “loathesome and degenerate,” … “terrible corruption,” … etc.
