Hacking Democracy

The story of mass voter fraud done by computer nerds. If this is true, it's probably one of the scariest things ever. Not scary like the wolfman scary, but scary because it's real.

This shows that it was actually legitimately possible that the entire presidential election was rigged. With simple hacking or computer programing by a company run by a republican and supported by republicans turning the output toward a republican candidate.

It completely explains the negative vote totals that Kerry received in some districts in the last election. Instead of stuffing the ballot box, technology allows to start one person possibly negative 10,000 votes with the other guy up 10,000 ... unfortunately Kerry didn't get the number of votes required to bring the negative vote back to zero.

This is pretty big. If it is true.

Even though no one from Diebold Election Systems admitted to having seen the film, Diebold President David Byrd suggested that Hacking Democracy was "replete with material examples of inaccurate reporting", and demanded that it not be aired. His criticism was based on an earlier film made by the same three filmmakers. However, HBO refused to remove it from their schedules. In addition Diebold wrote a letter to HBO referring to the famous vote changing 'Hursti Hack' featured in the film, claiming that "Harri Hursti is shown attacking a Diebold machine in Florida. But his attack proved later to be a complete sham." This statement by Diebold was proved to be wholly wrong by independent computer scientists at UC Berkeley who investigated the Hursti Hack.

This movie is one of the most important movies of our times, and for generations to come. This movie exposes, and explains, what actually happened during the past two presidential elections. This movie should be required viewing for every civics class in every democratic country, especially the United States.

One of the most disarming parts of the movie is the woman who leads the charge in exposing what can only be described as criminal fraud in an election. She does not look at all like a typical protester, actor, filmmaker, muckraker or investigator. But after you see what she does to further the cause of truth and democracy, you will agree that she is a heroine in the truest sense of the word. She is my hero.

Please watch this and think about how your "vote" might go... This documentary is an eye opener to the corruption of what is supposed to be a "pure" given right of our vote and voice to be heard. But when your voice (vote) can be manipulated, then democracy is not there. This movie shows how there are three companies who provide these machines and all the so called security and accuracy they have. But the truth is shown that these machines can easily be tampered with. I just heard that there are devices you can get so that when you go up to the computer and vote you can manipulate the system as you vote. We have chosen this high tech system which leaves no paper trail to the truth.

This timely HBO production should be required viewing for all voters. It shows irrefutable proof of vote tampering in past elections, as well as serious flaws in the machines being used to count votes in upcoming elections - including Nov. 7th, 2006.

Since the subject matter is so huge, trying to cover it all in the time allotted would be impossible. However, the producers decided to concentrate on the activities of just one group of many exposing election fraud - Bev Harris from BlackBoxVoting

The U.S. needs more people like Bev. Many more. Now. Without the vote, you have nothing but a dictatorship.
