Not a Georgia citizen, so my Humble Opion(tm) shouldn't count. This group 
of individuals _should_ get their cracks at the system, but not as the 
only group. Several groups should publically employ several approaches and 
demonstrate as many ways to invalidate election results as possible. The 
approach should count even if the perpetrator is detected/caught as long 
as the overall count is compromised.

I had a bad thought - What is the electorial consequence of dropping high 
voltage across the precints power supply, and erasing/corrupting the 
machine's counts? Does the precint get to vote again? (doubt it). Or is 
the result of that polling precint zeroed out?
