This may very well be the first time that space-age technology helps a quasi-authoritarian incumbent win a race. Interestingly, private vendors own the software and hardware (and costs, I hear, increase annually). The Brazilian electoral tribunal owns the software and hardware, very much like the US Treasury owns the US currency. Best, Fabrice Lehoucq

THE CLEARING - IN THEATERS JULY 2 - WATCH THE TRAILER NOW

An official selection of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, THE CLEARING
stars ROBERT REDFORD and HELEN MIRREN as Wayne and Eileen Hayes - a
husband and wife living the American Dream. Together they've raised two
children and struggled to build a successful business from the ground
up. But there have been sacrifices along the way. When Wayne is
kidnapped by an ordinary man, Arnold Mack (WILLEM DAFOE), and held for
ransom in a remote forest, the couple's world is turned inside out.
