Kevin Rose posted an link to a very interesting presentation on the potential gathering, structuring and consumption of information in the future. It is a simple flash presentation, very well done, that demonstrates a scenerio of events in the “information industry” beginning in our recent past and carrying on into our near future.

The perspective originates from a museum documenting the informational revolution that transformed much of our society.

It is both inspiring, and chilling.

A Seattle Time article reports that the King County Council Chairman, Larry Phillips, voted by absentee ballot and later found his name on a list of ballot rejections.

It seems that people are not notified when their votes are rejected. They are just silently thrown away, and nothing is done to correct the problem.

This councilman could check on his, though.

When he contacted the King County Elections Director, Dean Logan, he was told that his signature was not on file. This was an error.

The Washington State Republican Chairman Chris Vance says that if we have to check on these kinds of mistakes it will break our election process.

However, it seems to me that when people’s votes are not counted for whatever reason, the election process is already broken.
