Chris Lamb: Who Needs a Democracy When You Have iVotronic Voting Machines?
On June 8, 2010, Alvin Greene, who had no campaign staff, no headquarters, no website, and was facing charges for showing online pornography to a college student, defeated an established politician in the South Carolina Democratic Senate primary. Greene's victory exposed serious flaws in the state's iVotronic voting machines. Two years later, voters in the state use those same voting machines. 4 |

Joan Brunwasser: Election Integrity Advocates Take On Internet Voting In California I believe that we will block or at least alter the email voting bill that sailed through the Senate.A major difference will be that a small but dedicated network of advocates is organizing opposition to the bill. Calls and emails are pouring into assemblymembers' offices, all opposed.6 years ago,it was difficult just to be heard. Now we are better organized and definitely influencing legislation.We only fail if we quit. 9 |

Joan Brunwasser: Argonne Lab's Head of Vulnerability Assessment Team Disses Election Security If we can have about 15 seconds of access to most security devices (and presumably most voting machines),we can hijack them.This can occur at the factory, in transit, on the loading dock, in storage, while sitting around in the school hallways, etc. Thus, a cradle to grave, secure chain of custody is vital for any security device or voting machine.A chain of custody is a process,not a piece of paper bureaucrats scribble on. 7 |
Joan Brunwasser: SC Republican Commodities Broker Uses FOIA to Investigate Electronic Voting I had no political agenda whatsoever when I began my investigation. Putting party over principle is not healthy for our country in the long run. This is the one issue where everyone should come work together in a non-partisan manner. I would be honored to talk about what I have learned and share with them why our election system desperately needs changing, regardless of whether they were vegetarians or Libertarians. 6 |
Joan Brunwasser: Election Transparency Coalition's Joanne Lukacher Discusses Fallout as New York Struggles With Electronic Voting
One of the huge continuing disappointments faced by those of us working on the integrity of election system is that more established, larger organizations whose missions should lead them directly to a platform of true election integrity have not been supportive.They really don't seem to understand that the computers used in op-scan systems are as riggable and hackable and prone to failure as are the DREs. 5 |

Joan Brunwasser: Part Two: Election Defense Alliance's Jonathan Simon with the Timely Lowdown on Our Elections Computers can help us in many ways & will continue to play a major role in our lives--periodic glitches, hacks,and meltdowns notwithstanding. But to blindly and needlessly entrust our nation's elections--particularly its federal elections,which so directly determine our national direction--to private,corporate and partisan enterprises operating and calculating in secret beyond our capacity to observe and validate is insanity. |
Joan Brunwasser: Catching Up with Illinois Ballot Integrity Project's Roy Lipscomb
Germany& Holland carefully weighed the evidence pro and con,then decided that touch-screen machines were too insecure for a democracy.They were not swayed by arguments of speed or convenience or high-tech glitter,by politics or schmoozing.The crucial factor was the necessity that balloting and vote counting be secure &observable by the public. These machines clearly fail that test. And don't get me started on Internet voting. 6 |
 Joan Brunwasser: Election Beat: History is Made in Lyndeborough, NH If you see my smile after the vote, I think that says it all! That definitely goes down as one of the happiest of days for me, but mostly I just feel proud of my town and our wonderful community elections where the vote is seen as sacred and the duty to count it all the more so. As our Town Moderator, Walter Holland says when we come together to count the votes, "these are your neighbors' votes. Handle them with care." |
 Joan Brunwasser: Brad Friedman Discusses Role of Diebold in Critical MA Special Election Tuesday It's all about transparency.FIGHT like hell for whatever transparency you can get. If you want a government of the people,by the people and for the people,then the PEOPLE,not the private companies and/or the election officials,need to be able to oversee their own elections to ensure self-governance. Even with the shitty,often-unobservable voting systems we use, there remain many opportunities to oversee the process. USE THEM! 8 |
Joan Brunwasser: Interview with Scoop's Alastair Thompson, Part 2
Nothing concrete is being done even now -and given the track record of the election fraudsters,I would fully expect the 2010 midterms to be compromised.And when you realise that the corrupt election system is also being used to run primary races, you may quickly figure out why even with control of the House and the Senate, Obama is finding it tough going getting his agenda in place. 2 |
Joan Brunwasser: What a good day looks like
Parents with children of a certain age will remember Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And, who hasn't had moments when everything seemed to go wrong? You'll be relieved to know that this article is not about that. On the contrary. I'd like to describe what inadvertently turned out to be a pretty terrific day. Sorry about the red herring; I couldn't resist that title. 2 |

Joan Brunwasser: More Election Stories: Double Trouble
1000s of blind people have been betrayed by those who led us to believe that,by using these machines, we would gain our independence & privacy in the voting booth.Like our sighted brothers&sisters,we can not verify whether our vote has been counted as cast.But,what's more we were led to believe that we would finally have the right to have our vote cast&counted just like everyone else.Little did we know what that actually meant |
M. Wizard: Voter Turnout Expected to Be Highest in Decades
Voter turnout will be the highest in decades, dwarfing recent presidential elections, experts predict. The only question dividing experts is how huge will it be. Will it be the largest since 1968, largest since 1960 or even, as one expert predicts, the largest in a century? Soaring early voting levels hint at a big turnout, but that could just be the same voters casting ballots earlier instead of more voters hitting the polls. |

Margaret Bassett: Costner, Hopper & Swing Vote
Swing Vote is a motivational effort which lurches between homespun sentimentality and topical satire, with the moral that echoes the American mythology that one vote can make a difference, even if it is cast by a beer-drinking boob who has just been laid off from his job inspecting eggs. Stars Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper. 1 |
Richard Hayes Phillips: In Defense of Lever Voting Machines
I generally make it a point not to publicly criticize election integrity advocates. But these rants against lever voting machines are just plain wrong. I have voted on lever machines in New York State since 1972. I know what they look like; I know how they operate. The misstatements play into the hands of a federal government that has sued New York State to force us to replace our beloved lever machines with computers. 11 |

Rady Ananda: Return to paper ballots? Not so fast.
History shows that the US gave up paper ballots for good reason, but expert condemnation of electronic voting is bringing them back. Returning to HCPB might work well in areas with lots of oversight, but throughout the US, election systems are inadequately supervised, insufficiently professionalized, and all too often staffed with openly partisan officials. 13 |
