Hacking Democracy

Aah, finally, a serious documentary (not the sensational conspiracy theory type American audiences seem to prefer) about the dangerous cracks in American democracy! Maybe, finally, it can get a few points across amongst the American audiences. I sincerely wish some similar people could do a documentary about what is really happening in Iraq. Then you would understand why the rest of the world is at best annoyed with, and at worst full of hatred against the United States.

Wake up and smell the coffee, my American friends! Good morning to you from Middle East! You should clean up your own house before trying to bring 'freedom' and 'democracy' over here. You have a dirty kitchen, and thus, your brand of 'freedom and democracy' is not very healthy for us.

So get up and start cleaning... and maybe we could have some peace and quiet over here while you're busy with that.

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.

I am a senior in high school and we watched Hacking Democracy in my government class. It's funny that we have a government class because even though the class is required by state law, the state gives no curriculum or work in our Government class. While i watched this movie i was blown away. What kind of people could over look such a huge glitch in, not only the voting machines, but in the U.S. Government system itself. I am very glad i watched this and everyone should see it. We are writing a reaction paper as an assignment that my teacher made up. Well, it's the most she could think of since she doesn't have any material to teach us. If you want your vote to count...i recommend the viewing of Hacking Democracy.

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.

Commander Coconut stated in yesterday's Orlando Sentinel: "Have you seen the documentary Hacking Democracy? Truly frightening, scarier than a Wes Craven movie." Well, as a horror film lover, I was certainly interested, and I have to admit that I was scared shitless. Craven can definitely take tips from Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels on how to make a horror movie.

No, there was no blood or special effects, just a simple test of the voting system here in this country and the results that show we cannot be sure that our votes are truly counted.

If that doesn't scare the pants off you, then realize that this system is controlled by Republicans, and you can see that our country is truly headed down the toilet.

If you care about American democracy, or what is left of it, then you really need to see this documentary.
