Tom Dispatch (4/16/04)
		 
		
			Mike Davis, author of "Dead Cities" and "Late Victorian Holocausts", points that, since the early 1990s, facing an ever more global imperial mission into the "arc of instability," the energy heartlands of our planet, the US military has been in preparation mode--preparation for a grim future fighting in the sprawling slum cities of the Third World. The battle of Fallujah and the conflicts in Baghdad's slums indicate that that time may be here.

			Truevotemd.org says new electronic system fails to meet state law; Paper trail sought for ballots 
By Johnathon E. Briggs
Sun Staff
Originally published April 22, 2004
A citizens group in Takoma Park will file suit today against the state Board of Elections, contending that Maryland's 16,000 new electronic voting machines fail to comply with state law. The lawsuit, to be filed in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, asks that the machines be decertified until the manufacturer fixes security flaws and the devices are upgraded to print paper records of cast ballots. 
The lawsuit brought by the Campaign for Verifiable Voting -- better known as truevotemd.org -- alleges that state elections officials violated the law when they certified the touch-screen devices and failed to decertify them once computer experts found they were susceptible to vote-switching.
