RE: Presidential Candidates' Websites Vulnerable

[Grant Thibdea <shiptar () blazemail com>]

If we're getting into a discussion of vulns/security issues with the e-voting, ok. The draft is off topic.  But because 
people feel the need to intimidate and lie to our nations youth (this would be me) I wanted to correct this FUD, as 
it's called.

http://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:S.89:

http://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:HR00163:

The last action on the draft bill was 6/21/2004. (for those that don't feel like looking)  That's pretty recent!  It 
was Rep Norton, Eleanor Holmes [DC] withdrawing support for the bill.  The last action before that seems to be.... the 
introduction of the bill.  It's been sitting in committee otherwise. 

Please mail me off list to continue a draft discussion, to share any more sources of information or to trash me.  

My apologies for wasting others bandwidth/time for such a thing. I will not do so again.

We may not have election if a terrorist attack occurs.

I'm not clear as to what one issue has to do with the
other.  Those in Congress have already been elected,
so what does electronic voting issues have to do with
the military draft.

Also, could you provide a link to information stating
that Congress will be instituting the draft?  I'm
familiar with the news reports about involuntary
call-ups of IRR troops, but all I've been able to
locate on the draft (different issue entirely) seems
to say that this isn't something to worry about:

http://www.iht.com/articles/527445.html

So...anything you have that's more definitive would be
greatly appreciated.

To which "war" are you referring?

Again, maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing the
connection between the supposed draft and the voting
process...

Thanks,
