Election and The World Wide Web

This upcoming election has become more or less a major problem. There have been massive reports done with the idea of "middle-man" hacking that the Republican party allegedly has been involved with. It has extenuated to the extreme of a man who they say is behind all of this is being subpoenaed to testify in open court. The Republican party has funded legal aid and are trying to push back the hearing until after election day. If this isnt enough I recently came across an article on BNA's internet law news that deals with this "joe the plummer" character and the controversy surrounding it. The article goes on to explain how the Democratic Party illegally accessed this mans information and they breached legal code. This Joe the Plummer character has been a hot topic as of lately and all it does is distract the masses from what each canidates views and beliefs truly are. I have chosen not to vote in this upcoming election and it is because of these ideals that surround voter fraud and the ways that it is handled. It is tough to understand the magnitude of which this can cause, and no one truly can understand what can come of this. These many situations and the many others that cause for impartiality in this current system truly show how this current system does not value canidates equally or each persons single vote. Regardless, measures need to be taken to ensure each persons true vote and maybe switching to computer devices can only add to the mass scare of identity theft.
