A Simple Measure to Honor the Public Right to See and Authenticate the Count in Tuesday's Massachusetts Senate Race Regardless of who wins,the opposing party will be flinging accusations of machine failures,uncounted votes,and fraud.There is only one race on this ballot.It would be easy to divide the ballots in each precinct into three separate piles and simply count the number of votes received by each candidate.This is not going to happen, however.The second question one has to ask is "Why not?"

A New Attack on Civil Liberties by Florida's Secretary of State There is some urgency to this -- if this law is gutted, our ability to observe elections will be greatly diminished. Please contact your legislator and ask him/her to oppose this attempt to decrease transparency.

Compare Florida Elections To USDA Beef Making sure that no problems will be found -- even if problems exist -- is one way to prevent embarrassment.Or is it?Just imagine what will happen if FL has a close Presidential election in November -- a likely scenario -- and incorrect election results are found AFTER certification of the election,when it is too late to correct those results.Now that would be embarrasing. It would also be another Florida election travesty.

Kudos to the makers of "Hacking Democracy" "Hacking Democracy" was a tremendous triumph by Directors Russ Michaels and Simon Ardizzone, the British filmmakers who created a disturbing and revelatory film about Diebold and the hackability of its voting systems. Working with almost no funding, their first feature-length documentary went on to be nominated for the Emmy award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism -- an amazing accomplishment in itself!
