I feel doubly oppressed on the day that I vote, because I see race after race with a single, uncontested candidate on the ballot. That brings to mind all the nasty, restrictive ballot access laws, gerrymandering, and official corruption that systematically restrict my choices on election day. And when I feed my paper into the electronic black box to be tallied, I think about all that unaudited code inside, and about how I can easily run any program inside a debugger or trainer and change values in ways the program itself does not detect.
