[liberationtech] Random number generator failure in Rasperri Pis?

[Adam Fish]

Dear Colleagues,

I am presently writing on politicians, namely Gore and Obama, talking about
the internet on the campaign trail. I am looking for citations for research
on discourses on technology in politics.

Any leads?

Thank you.

Best,
