I haven't read _Seven Days in May_ or seen the movie in quite some time, but why do I see the visage of William Rehnquist wearing a Burt Lancaster mask looming over November? Stories like this.....grrrrr. Crap, maybe I'll just go to Mexico a little early.

Or maybe there's a New Deal for elections: establish a consistent, technology-neutral standard for auditably. If a state can't pass that test in the wake of an ambiguous or contested result, then all of their members of the Electoral College get stood up against a wall and shot (oh, and coincidentally, that state's votes don't count, either).
