Actually, in this case the fault is not with MS so much as
with zdnet. MS didn't build faulty software in this case.
They took advantage of a weakness in someone else's.
Because zdnet's vote software is not open to public review,
it is impossible for the community to help make it rig-proof.
I suggest people surf over to the GNU.FREE project for more
information on e-voting:
