This is hilarious. These guys set up a satire vote stealing election site and they have actually been contacted by campaigns to do just that. The site is professionally done in Flash and could pass for a *real* business site. Fix-A-Vote

From TechDirt: from the enhancing-the-voting-experience dept

With so many stories about problems and vulnerabilities with e-voting machines, there are lots of conspiracy theories out there about how any particular campaign might go about "fixing" an election. Well, as with so many good ideas these days, it appears someone has set up a nice website to make it that much easier. In what is clearly a clever bit of satire, someone has set up a website called fixavote.com that is supposedly from a company called Election Partners or Election Consultants.

The site uses ambiguous, yet hilarious, language to basically suggest that they'll hack the vote in any particular election area, if it uses e-voting machines: "By leveraging existing electronic voting technology, Election Consultants enhances the voting experience, which ultimately ensures a desirable election outcome." It also includes services such as: "real-time voter correction" and (my favorite) "enhanced retrospective tallying."

I wonder who contacted them?

THIS one is voting for THAT one.

A poor man voting for John McCain is like the chickens voting for Col. Sanders.
