Re: Landes lawsuit

This is one of those fundamental appositions of safety vs. freedom.  If "proving injury" means that each individual misvoting machine has to be shown to be injurious, then like the war on terror it will be an endless effort until the basic source of the problem is resolved.  The source of the voting machine problem is the privatization (with proprietary claims) of a public function charged to carry out an individual right.  The ACLU et al. has not yet had the courage to take on this fundamental Constitutional crisis, and it is left to an individual to protect our right and freedom to vote.
