Andrew McLaughlin of the Christian Science Monitor has a piece about the world leaders backing Bush, beyond Putin and Blair. (Thanks to Ethan for the link, and for the information that “It’s hard to overstate Clinton’s popularity, at least in West Africa.”)

BlackBoxVoting reports that there’s evidence that an election in King County, Washington, was hacked 6 weeks ago. The site urges election officials to unplug the modems from the voting machines now:

There is no down side to removing the modems. Simply drive the vote cartridges from each polling place in to the central vote-counting location by car, instead of transmitting by modem. “Turning off” the modems may not be sufficient. Disconnect the central vote counting server from all modems, INCLUDING PHONE LINES, not just Internet.

If you’re an eligible American and you don’t vote, I don’t want to hear from you about politics about the next four years.

If you don’t know where your polling place is, this site does. If you want to call people in other states to remind them to vote, go to VoterCall.

[Thanks to Josh for the polling place link…and for 12 months of working to make this a better place to be human.]
