Horror Videos of the E - Voting Kind

Update: 1/09

The problems described in the following videos are still relevant and still not corrected across the nation.

PROTECTING DEMOCRACY

See a new 20 minute elections video by Russell Michaels and Simon Ardizzone, the producers/directors of the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary film "Hacking Democracy," Their new video, "Protecting Democracy" (comprised of Parts I and II) was recently aired on British television.

HACKING DEMOCRACY - A "MUST SEE" DOCUMENTARY

Hacking Democracy was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2007 for Outstanding Investigative Journalism.

The documentary, first broadcast on HBO throughout November & December 2006, exposes the dangers of voting machines used during America's mid term and presidential elections. Electronic voting machines count approximately 90% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections.

The 'Hursti Hack' forms the climax of the film and proved for the first time that votes stored on Diebold's memory cards can be changed undetectably. In fact our ground breaking hack was scientifically proven to be completely true. California's Secretary of State commissioned a special report by scientists at UC Berkeley to investigate the Hursti Hack.

STEPHEN SPOONAMORE CONFRONTS MARYLAND BOARD OF ELECTIONS WITH UNREDACTED SAIC REPORT

Diebold had issued a 40 page redacted version of the SAIC report which whitewashed the problems. Computer cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore got a copy of the 197-pag e un-redacted report which listed hundreds of serious problems, and he released that report to Velvet Revolution and then took it to the Maryland Board of Elections and confronted them with it at a public meeting.

UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections

UNCOUNTED shares well documented stories about the spine-chilling disregard for the right to vote in America. In Florida, computer programmer Clint Curtis is directed by his boss to create software that will "flip" votes from one candidate to another. In Utah, County Clerk Bruce Funk is locked out of his office for raising questions about security flaws in electronic voting machines. Californian Steve Heller gets convicted of a felony after he leaks secret documents detailing illegal activities committed by a major voting machine company. And Tennessee entrepreneur, Athan Gibbs, finds verifiable voting a hard sell in America and dies before his dream of honest elections can be realized.

STEALING AMERICA: Vote by Vote

STEALING AMERICA: Vote by Vote brings together behind-the-scenes perspectives from the U.S. presidential election of 2004 - plus startling stories from key races in 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2006. Unbiased and nonpartisan, the film sheds light on

a decade of vote counts that don't match votes cast - uncounted ballots, vote switching, under-votes and many other examples of election totals that warrant serious investigation.

Dan Rather Reports on HD TV

The Trouble With Touch-Screens

Dan Rather Reports presents conclusive evidence of the failure of touch screen voting machines across the country. The episode, "The Trouble with Touch Screens", is an entire hour devoted to new information on this story. From scientists involved in testing the equipment, to manufacturers in third world countries who shipped these defective voting machines to the United States, Dan Rather Reports presents new information showing that these defective machines may have altered the outcome of multiple elections.

Princeton University Diebold Machine Hacking

Some Princeton researchers made a demonstration video of how it's possible to steal an election with a Diebold voting machine in under a minute. Anyone with physical access to the machine can put in malicious software to steal votes-such as election workers who have unsupervised access to the machines before elections. All they have to do is open up the machine with a key (or pick the lock), remove the old memory card, stick in your own memory card, boot the machine, and it automatically installs any software that was on the memory card.

VOTERGATE

Votergate, an action documentary, follows a young team on their nationwide investigation of the current problems with our voting systems and elections procedures. Fast-paced and engaging, Votergate reveals the shocking story of how touchscreen voting systems are highly susceptible to hacking and how these systems are being implemented across the country without the proper checks and balances to insure accuracy and accountability.

Not In the Horror Genre

The following video is one that tells of an improvement that can be made to electronic voting. Open Source Software is software that can be inspected by the public and is not proprietary or privately owned.

Open-source electronic voting

The Open Voting Consortium advocates the use of open-source tools to provide election officials with accurate electronic voting systems. They say this system will save countries nearly 90 percent of the cost of current electronic voting machines. They are currently concentrating their efforts within California. The group hopes to soon announce adoption by at least one large county in the state and perhaps be in a position to provide services to the entire state in time for the 2012 presidential election.

This article includes video of how the system works.
