HBO Special on Diebold Electronic Voting Machines


Hacking Democracy (HBO Special) Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY exposes gaping holes in the security of America's electronic voting system.
[Video Google pulled the original posted full video so now you have to watch the segments on YouTube to get the whole story. Worth the effort.]

The recent Diesel Sweeties comic about voting machines is sad in a "it's funny 'cause it's true" way: "the future of evil is in manipulating information." Thank you DIEBOLD.

Thanks for the funny link to Diesel Sweeties and yes, you are indeed correct. The future of evil is the manipulation of information. On the other hand, the future of good fortune and improvement in our world may well be the open sharing of information.
