How To Fix an Election

Princeton University scientists have spawned a computer virus that can change votes cast on Maryland's electronic voting machines, reports the Washington Post. To make up for that disenfranchised feeling, the university's website features a 10-minute instructional video on how to rig a voting machine. (It's the closest I've ever been to receiving an Ivy League education.) Study it closely and take notes. There will be a quiz in November.
