Hacking Democracy

This cautionary documentary exposes the vulnerability of computers - which count approximately 80% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections - suggesting that if our votes aren't safe, then our democracy isn't safe either.

--

This isn't about bitter grapes over the `00 or `02 or `04 election.

This is about the future - the `06 election.

Everyone who bothers to vote should be VERY concerned about this problem. It would be just as easy for future elections to be rigged by Democrats if that's what makes money for companies like Diebold.

The only way to make them honest is to make them OPEN.

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Simple software that any amateur could figure out. Security will be provided by EYE WITNESSES from all parties involved watching the whole process take place.

Hell, let's start having elections for Voter Defense Officers in every precinct just like we do with judges.

If the Democracts win a national victory next week, they should take little comfort in having the backing of the majority of their voting constituents. Rather, they should realize what it took to pull it off and vow to fix the problem while they have the power to do so.
