Thanks all, I was thinking this would be more a Libtech question than a
cpunks one ;-)

I confess, editor asked me to do the topic, but I'm taking it on the
basis that 1) more skepticism about voting the better, since voting
sucks; 2) democracy sucks, and basically my strategy is becoming to
write an article such that I can add to the tweets promoting it a link
to a blog post or some such with more radical material like this one
against democracy altogether:

But still! If you have something creative or useful to say about
e-voting hacks, scandals, etc., please do chime in before this thread
meets the dustbin of history.

There's the case of the Karl Rove IT guy, present for many e-voting
scandals, who died in the suspicious plane crash right before
testifying:
