Microsoft trying to muscle NYS Legislature to change e-voting laws

Sun Jun 17, 2007 at 02:19:28 PM PDT

Just saw this on Slashdot.

It seems Microsoft has taken the side of the companies that make the voting machine, to fight transparency in elections. Microsoft's objection is because they do not want the code on the voting machines inspected.

Breaking : Genarlow Wilson's sentence voided !

Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 09:01:50 AM PDT

Justice served finally !

CNN reports :  
A judge rules that a Georgia man should be released from a 10-year prison sentence for having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17.

Recently there was a diary comparing this case to Paris Hilton's case.

It is obvious the prosecutor did not use proper judgment and broke the spirit of the law.

from the comments : Mikebaseball's detailed diary on the topic.
