It doesn't get more mainstream than this: The HBO documentary about computerized voting, Hacking Democracy, been nominated for an Emmy for outstanding investigative journalism. http://www.blackboxvoting.org Bev Harris is executive director of Black Box Voting, Inc. an advocacy group committed to restoring citizen oversight to elections.
Correct, Joyce McCloy of NC Verifiable Voting You, Joyce, have been clear that you don't like Black Box Voting. Not all citizens agree with you, and they have the right to express themselves as well, as they do in some of the letters I am reprinting below. For those who believe that our voting rights are in jeopardy, "Hacking Democracy" has a unique ability to bring the unitiated from 0 to 60 miles an hour on the topic in just 80 minutes. As you can see from the following comments, it produces exactly the kind of citizen motivation we need to tackle this monster: Here are some of the comments from people whose eyes were opened by this film: "I am half way through watching the video about your research into the faulty voting system in our "democratic" country. I was shocked when I saw the problems, lies and apparently criminal actions of so many people we have trusted in the past. While I would not have wanted to believe it, this type of activity is the same as if an armed militia member were standing beside us to make sure we are voting for the person holding the current majority of power and money in our country. ...What can one person do in my little town, I may ask myself....I am willing to try and do as much as possible ..." "I have prepared a letter about Hacking Democracy that I wish to submit to our local newspaper, to family and friends, and then to our local Libertarian Party members. ... Thank you for your help and for your ongoing efforts." "Loved the documentary on HBO! I am a student here in California. I want to make all the students aware of the scam perpetrated by the Diebold ... I want to be an "evangelist" on this issue." "I recently rented the dvd Hacking Democracy. Wow, congratulations for showing us what we really already knew/know is real truth about the election process in this country. I knew something was funny...everyone should be able to see it and know the truth." "I bought a projector to show it [Hacking Democracy] at my condo association, etc..." "I just finished watching the stirring and unsettling documentary "Just finished watching Hacking Democracy. EVERY HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE should air Hacking Democracy in Govt, Political Science & Computer Science classes nationwide. " These comments are exactly the kind of reason Hacking Democracy was nominated for an Emmy. It is excellent research by Russell Michaels, who, together with Simon Ardizzone, has an exceptional ability to tell a story in a way that motivates people. Much of the mission of Black Box Voting revolves around doing original research and educating the public. This film, a cooperative effort among many, has already educated literally millions of people in a way that inspires them to take action. Best of luck to us all in this endeavor. Bev Harris by
