Must See: HBO's Hacking Democracy

Just how easy would it be for 1 person to steal an election using Diebold electronic voting machines? Pretty damn easy evidently. You should be very concerned despite party affiliation. This program shows how just one person can change the course of the country instead of millions of voters.

It also suggests that John Kerry knew of voter fraud in New Mexico, yet didn't challenge the results. Why?

Dont get HBO here in Australia, but would love to see it if its ever realsed on DVD here -- or even (eventually) shown on tv. Sounds really interesting.

Im not suprised that John Kerry knew of voter fraud, in at least New Mexico, i have also heard or read somewhere that he knew of it in Ohio. But what use would challenging it have? There are obviously powers at play here that go beyond the political system. George Bush was not elected as President in 2000, he was chosen by the Supreme Court. If Kerry were to challenge such fraud, who do you think he would have to go to?

(I'm actually not sure, but im guessing The Supreme Court)

It would also not look good. He'd be remembered as the sore loser.

I've just watched it courtesy of Google Video. Bev Harris is an amazing woman. I've been aware of Black Box Voting since around 2001, and to see her in action was a real treat.

GREAT documentary. Every American should watch it.

Here's a link to the documentary on Google Video. (Seems to have been posted by HBO/BBV) Must see for everyone. It provides indisputable evidence that the vote count can be tampered with on Diebold machines a number of ways without leaving a trace. And Diebold says that it's false. Diebold also attempted to get the documentary stopped before it aired.

Just watched it,got me wondering if this is the reason the republicans are so overly confident this year.I suppose we are the "lucky" generation,to be here and watch democracy take its last breaths.

If the Democrats do not win a majority in the United States House of Representatives tomorrow then I'd call fraud. Because people are saying its not "if" they do, its by how many seats they will, even Republicans.

To see them even gain the -exact- number of seats, and not a single 1 more, to gain a majority in the house would make me worry abpit fraud.

The Senate is too close to call..

i just saw the documentary today...

two thumbs way up

it just shows you what average americans can do if they are proactive and dedicated enough to a cause

Whether the votes are tampered with or not the Illuminati is going to decide who wins.

Bush was appointer by the Florida Supreme court, who stopped the vote recount when it favored him. He was not appointer by the US supreme court.

The 2004 election was much worse, as across the nation, when in many states republican secretaries of state manipulated the electiion rules in several states to disenfranchise voters in predominately democrat precincts. Some of the more rediculous tricks included, Disallowing voter registrations because the registration forms were printer on slightly smaller paper than some of the others. ( the smaller registration forms seemed to be used only be voters registering as democrats),
Improper distribution of voting equipment (small predominately republican precincts would have extra, unused machines while larger predominately democrat precincts whoud get 2 voting machines. ) Not to mention all the problems with the touch-screen machines that always seemed to favor the republican party.

WHat this screams for is a strict national standard set of voting regulations. Obvioulsy, leaving this up the the individual states is not working
