Yulia Timoshenko (her personal website) is the new premier of Ukraine (bio). She is the hippest politician I've ever laid my eyes on. Here is a picture of her giving a speech to the Ukrainian parliament when it approved her nomination to the premiership. Here's another picture of her being insufferably hip. Russia has issued an international arrest warrant for her through Interpol, but who cares when she's this cool? Don't you wish you had politicians who dressed like that? Strike that. Don't you wish you had politicians who could dress like that?

Looks like a minority liberal government for Canada. The entire process will have been completed in a single day. The voters used pencils to mark X's on paper ballots, which were stuffed into ballot boxes then counted by hand. Despite the differences in population, is there a lesson here for our southern neighbours?

I live in the 12th Congressional District in California. We're a pretty sensible (you might call us liberal) bunch. Over 80% oppose the war. Almost 70% oppose the "Patriot Act." Yet our Congressman -- a wonderful and amazing figure, Tom Lantos -- doesn't vote the way his district thinks. He has supported the war. He has supported the Patriot Act. I haven't done this before, and I'm not going to do this much again, but this gap between who we are and how we are represented has led me to help Congressman Lantos' opponent -- Ro Khanna. Ro's a bright, young, committed Democrat, committed to representing the views of his district. He's got a blog. And a friend and I are going to have a party for him at my house on February 9. If you'd like to come, send an email.

It works for the Patrician, why not for us? Diebold's been in the news again, this time because the most recent California election (and Terminator references aren't really appropriate -- it seems more like something out of a Phillip K. Dick novel) that used machines whose software wasn't certified by the state elections board. (Most, but not all, of the machines met the federal standards, but that doesn't really matter as it wasn't a federal election. The state wins here) Including LA county, which last I heard has just a few people living in it. LA's machines were neither state...

Wizbang, a blog started by Kevin Aylward in April, is running a "Best Weblogs" contest — wouldn't you if your last name were "Award" with an extra YL added? — that, through a set of spelling errors and typos, nominates Joho as best overall blog. I assume they meant "Best All-Over Blog." On the other hand, Joho is 20th out of 20 (11 votes as opposed to Little Green Footballs at #1 with 2,435 and kottke.org at #2 with 1,972) , so there is some justice.

Who would Osama vote for?

Who would Osama vote for? 07/20/2004 09:09 PM
Paul Krugman is one of the few voices in the mainstream media willing to speak plain truth to power, and he did a bang-up job with today's column, The Arabian Candidate. As he points out, Bush has done everything Osama bin Landen might have hoped for: The Arabian candidate wouldn't openly help terrorists. Instead, he would serve their cause while pretending to be their enemy. After an attack, he would strike back at the terrorist base, a necessary action to preserve his image of toughness, but botch the follow-up, allowing the terrorist leaders to escape. Once the public's attention shifted, he would systematically squander the military victory: committing too few soldiers, reneging on promises of economic aid. Soon, warlords would once again rule most of the country, the heroin trade would be booming, and terrorist allies would make a comeback. Meanwhile, he would lead America into a war against a country that posed no imminent threat. He would insinuate, without saying anything literally false, that it was somehow responsible for the terrorist attack. This unnecessary war would alienate our allies and tie down a large part of our military. At the same time, the Arabian candidate would neglect the pursuit of those who attacked us, and do nothing about regimes that really shelter anti-American terrorists and really are building nuclear weapons. Again, he would take care to squander a military victory. The Arabian candidate and his co-conspirators would block all planning for the war's aftermath; they would arrange for our army to allow looters to destroy much of the country's infrastructure. Then they would disband the defeated regime's army, turning hundreds of thousands of trained soldiers into disgruntled potential insurgents. ... Who knows? The Arabian candidate might even be able to deprive America of the moral high ground, no mean trick when our enemies are mass murderers, by creating a climate in which U.S. guards torture, humiliate and starve prisoners, most of them innocent or guilty of only petty crimes. ... Last but not least, by blatantly exploiting the terrorist threat for personal political gain, he would undermine the nation's unity in the face of its enemies, sowing suspicion about the government's motives. Unfortunately, Osama bin Laden doesn't vote. He uses the murder of innocents to get what he wants. What worries me is what happens when the two people with the most to gain from Bush remaining in power...

Can You Hack the Vote?

Can You Hack the Vote? 08/05/2004 06:01 PM
Electronic voting systems have drawn fire from courts, lawmakers, and citizens groups--and now they're under attack by hackers. It's an organized assault, too. E-voting technology expert Rebecca Mercuri, a Harvard research fellow who has been outspoken in her opposition to such systems, has issued a "Hack the Vote" challenge, trying to illustrate what she calls their unreliability and vulnerability. She unveiled the so-called Mercuri Challenge at the recent Black Hat Briefings and Defcon 12 security conferences.

Preelection Action Urged

Mercuri suggests electronic voting machines be hacked during their preelection testing, so officials will abandon them before an actual election. "People in the election community say this technology is bulletproof," Mercuri says. "It's not." She especially opposes use of electronic voting technology in its current state, which does not allow for a verifiable backup. "I'm not asking anyone to break any laws, we just want the opportunity to hack e-voting systems to prove that it can or cannot be done," she says.

Canada considers electoral reform. The Law Commission of Canada just released a report that recomended a Mixed Member Proportional system much like that one that New Zealand recently adopted. Along with the steps being taken at the federal level, the provinces are at various stages in the process. The government in Quebec has proposed a similar MMP system for the province, a commission in PEI recomended the same system, BC has convened a Citizens Assembly, Ontario now has a Democrati c Renewal Secretariat, and Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are considering changes as well.
