The rhetoric in this press release is totally NSFNP (not safe for
non-partisans), but a group lead by Kevin Zeese is offering 20 grand
for definitive evidence of e-voting manipulation in the 2010 election
that shows a contest elected the incorrect candidate (must lead to
arrest and conviction).

Personally, I'd rather bounties be proposed for other aims, like "best
local election administration in a state" or "best ratio of turnout
over median voter wait time"... with enough funding and imagination,
we could have a rich prize system and could call it the "Voties" or
something... and it might have a nice side effect of providing good
data that could be further critiqued by academics and election
administrators while also giving a bump to election administrators.
::)  (The Election Center must do this, right?)

best, Joe
