EXCLUSIVE! Watch 'Hacking Democracy'

Please people, send this anybody and everybody you know out in battleground states. Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, New Mexico, even California. People need to see this documentary pronto.

you ask, about our public psychology (psychosis)?

I think our political system is not science and certainly not poetry. No right answers, only wrong questions. I took a blog-stab this morning at explaining how I think about it:
"Political Pandering Ain’t Poetry–or Public Education"

hoping many folks would see it quickly and come here to learn more.

This is from Marjorie's newsletter: (NYC focus but helpful for others as well)

STOP ELECTRONIC VOTING IN NY. NOW.
New York 's machine certification schedule is pushed back past December. With machines not being certified until, perhaps, February 20. In the new schedule, counties could be asked to choose equipment no later than March 7.

The delays are directly related to Ciber, the so-called "Independent Testing Authority" conducting most of NY's certification, and being unable to produce an acceptable Security Test Plan. Further revision of the security test plan is in progress, but the full security review cannot be completed before February.

We could generously say that Ciber didn't know what they were facing as they certified everything put in front of them for a couple years. Not so generously I say they are responsible for the recent, undeserved recertifying of the CA machines, and are still not reliable. This delay is due to another ITA deeming their plan lacking.

Ciber was listed on Hacking Democracy as not checking the Diebold for security, but certifying nonetheless.

This means that NY will probably be unable to pick new machines in time for the 2007 election. I need to check with the State Board next week.
