As of today, BlackBoxVoting.org has new forums up -- which seem to be part of an entire website rebuilding using a different CMS. In case you've missed the big flame war of the season, not only has electronic voting reform activist Bev Harris gotten untold grief, threats and worse from the radical right and the establishment interests, but also from the boisterous and goodthink-minded Democratic Underground. My own personal hunch (as a total outsider) is that she needed a site system with more robust security, as it has been under attack almost constantly this past year, and successfully hacked on at least one occasion.

I hope this move frees her to get back on point. I cannot imagine what kind of year she's had. Here's a heartfelt wish for a New Year full of success and joy for Bev.
