Here's the key segment of the HBO documentary "Hacking Democracy" - a demonstration of manipulating the executable code on the cards themselves which Diebold says does not exist.

23. AND Rate This Up At YouTube.Com (direct link here)
Go register for an account if you need one (it's free).

Hit their rating. Add to your "favorites."

It all raises the video's profile there.

With a HUGE audience.

2. This really was the best part
of the movie. And the part where the republican candidate sees her name switch on all the voting machines in storage.

3. I cried twice - first when Andy talked about his legacy and then this scene.

4. I understand.
The woman crying in the scene was very powerful. She almost got me going.

11. People have died for our so called "freedom" - "democracy"
and to find out that it's a sham, is pretty powerful. I joined that woman.

Glad I missed that "legacy" part--gotta tuck the kids in come hell or high water.

Last week, found some docs he'd sent me. Took his number off the cell in July. Sucky experiences. Bigtime.

It's finally all out there though, and there's no turning back.

16. Thanks so much those of you who have worked on this
and brought it to light. When that lady cried, that is how I feel about everything that has happened since 2000, it has crossed over from something I read about to something that affects me internally. People have been called conspiracy theorists for talking about election fraud, even by this forum, and look, they were right and it's still not fixed, because even the democrats don't say anything and congress can't do anything because of the republican majority and they are in there as a result of this , and other, fraud.
media hardly even talks about this.

about everything.

Well, we know better now.

18. K&R; this demonstrates what any election official, janitor, vendor
or whoever could easily do. Ultimately, insiders are a bigger risk than so-called "outsiders". After all, once an outsider hacks the election (or their friends do) that outsider is now the Insider! With election fraud, criminals get promotions.

20. K&R, Plus, I found a torrent of the entire documentary,
I'm trying to download it now. I know someone who NEEDS to see this and tell me whether there is any chance it could happen in my state. If it could possibly happen in my state, this person has the wherewithal to do something about it.

I've never even used BitTorrent before, but this is too important to me, so I'm figuring it out as I go. BitTorrent seems to be working out. Amazing--I usually have terrible luck trying new computer programs.

It was nice to know that an American vote counted for something.

36. I'm so sorry Seabiscuit; I didn't mean you personally
I should have put my post elsewhere in that thread.

Regardless, people can vote by going to the link below, then clicking on the highest star they think the video deserves. For example, if you click on the fifth star it will record a vote of five stars from you (if you have a login...hm, is that the problem Seabiscuit?).

24. We need to get this on all the news channels.
Starting with Keith Olbermannthen Cafferty and Dobbs that is Lou Dobbs Not Tom!



October 17, 2006,Will be remembered as the Enabling day of the 21st Century!
"The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures..."
~Adolf Hitler, March 23, 1933, before the German Parliament (Reichstag) as he urged them to pass his "Enabling Act"

31. be sure and encourage EVERYONE to vote at this YOUTUBE link...
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 06:32 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
and see if it gets posted. also check on what did get posted. Perhaps they WILL steal my vote but that's EXACTLY what they will have to do on tuesday. EVERYONE VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES! I mentioned that it was important for all of us to vote anyway at the YOUTUBE video at their site and it didn't get posted publically yet. As an experiment, you go there and see if your remarks are posted by the owner of that video. Over there, the ones who post media get to decide what goes public. Do you think they're trying to make us think our votes don't matter on tuesday? It's not working, at least in my case. how about you? Do you think YOUR vote matters enough to cast?

32. Great film they left one thing out though
In California Shelly was replaced by R-Bruce McPherson as Secretary of State by R-Arnold Schwarzenegger of course, Bruce turned around and recertified electronic voting machines in the state of California.

and should be tried, convicted, imprisoned, and executed.

41. EVERYONE BE SURE AND VOTE TUESDAY ANYHOW! WHY DO YOU THINK...
This exact piece of media is ALL over the web in such prominent positions this close to elections? Where were they 6 months ago, when we were raising Hell here at DU and could have fixed the problem... I smell a KKKarl!

44. i have only a few more question before I hit the sack....
why hasn't this far more credible video from Princeton University been on TV and ALL over the web for months? it was put on YOUTUBE on September 13, 2006 by helderheidgeloof
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZws98jw67g

why did this video become so prominent right before elections? It's not just highly visible at YOUTUBE, DU, Yahoo and other major places.

and last but not least, what is it about Florida Election Officials (our new-found online hero) that makes me suspicious?

funny how he got so concerned down there, just days before the election, isn't it? kinda reminds you of good old Tom (the Hammer) DeLay becoming all Christian on TV, right after they busted him, doesn't it?

I don't know much, I'll admit it, I'm just a dumb old country boy down here in Bama, so I'll leave these questions for sharper minds to ponder.
