New York state is in the process of replacing its lever voting machines with new voting equipment, but the state revealed recently that it has found problems with 50 percent of the roughly 1,500 ImageCast optical-scan machines (shown in the video above) that Sequoia Voting Systems has delivered to the state so far -- machines that are slated to be used by dozens of counties in the state's September 9 primary and November 4 presidential election.
...
New York doesn't have a choice about using the machines this year. The state was sued by the Department of Justice for failing to meet a federal deadline for having accessible voting machines in place. The Help America Vote Act passed in 2002 requires every voting precinct to provide at least one accessible voting machine for disabled voters by 2006. New York is just now getting the machines in place.
...
After the testing is completed, a tamper-evident seal is placed on the machines and they're passed back to the vendor representative who is responsible for shipping off the machines to counties.

This creates chain-of-custody concerns that Biamonte says are exacerbated by the fact that when he received his machines in Nassau County, a number of the tamper-evident seals on them were cracked.

"How do we know this wasn't tampered with?" he said.

 Anti-Clintonism actually started for the simplest reason in the world. Bill Clinton won the election and the GOP couldn't handle it. By the time Bill Clinton took the oath of office Anti-Clintonism was in full swing. As usual, the liberal press supported the GOP in this endeavor by repeating their rightwing talking points. Just as they have in every election since and before (see DailyHowler archives).  

Anti-Clintonism was regularly used as the springboard for press and pundit careers on TV, paper, and blogs.
During the 90s Lots of press pundit careers were made on TV and in paper with Clinton bashing (e.g. Coulter of the 90s, Arianna Huffington). On the net bloggers put themselves on the map with Anti-Clinton gobbledigook (i.e. Moulitsas) and newbies ate it up.

 "Triangulation" is just one of the talking points the Clinton trashers on the net copied from the rightwingers and they used it when they could think of nothing else to throw at the Clintons. So it quickly turned into some sort of rallying cry of the netroots - acting if it was the devil's act. Why does the netroot hate Clinton? Easy. Triangulation. It really was pathetic.

 Most posters didn't have a clue what 90s triangulation actually meant and they still don't it seems .... but they learned to spell it. Look, I can do it to: T-r-i-a-n-g-u .....

The real world people could care less about this latest stuff on the net and continued to respect and like both Hillary and Bill Clinton. But by 2006 the blogs were packed with Clinton hate, lies, innuendos AND propaganda for anyone but "the Clintons." The village ate it up, too, and bloggers and media, esp, cable, aligned happily to  pick and elect their fav. candidate.
