Mark Crispin Miller: Holt Bill Is A Poison Pill

Mark Crispin Miller (author of "Fooled Again," on the theft of the 2004 presidential election) warns that beneath the attractive surface of promised election reform, the Holt bill, H.R. 811, injects some profoundly antidemocratic and unacceptable threats to electoral democracy.

Citizens Taking Action And How You Can, Too

As David Cobb states, the greatest threat to democracy today is the illusion that we still have one. People have the general confidence that we can simply vote people into and out of office according to the votes of the majority of the people. This has proven to be false in the national elections of 2000, 2002 and 2004. Americans' persistent faith that elections, as they currently function, will solve any political dilemma is a dangerous illusion. The illusion causes apathy, complacency and inattention to the key mechanism and life blood of our democracy: the counting of votes.

WE MUST INSIST ON ACCURATE VOTE COUNTS AND ELECTORAL INTEGRITY ABOVE ALL!

Note the subject "We" in the above sentence. This is not the "we" that means "all those political activists who blog, write letters and make phone calls, because that's what they do, and it's their "thing". No. This is the "We" in "WE THE PEOPLE". It is the Preamble-to-the-Constitution "We" in extra large cursive on aging parchment paper! It means ANYONE AND EVERYONE who actually still believes in that document!

So check that reference under that definition and consider who we are referring to here. Then watch the videos below to gain tools and inspiration for how to fight back and reclaim our democracy. Thank you.

Traceless GEMS Central Tabulator Hack Walkthrough (Jim March, 15 Mins.)

The link below provides a 15 minute long, complete walk-through of a Diebold central tabulator (GEMS) hack session, with voiceover commentary by Jim March.

Gems Hack Video

Below are some tips about viewing or projecting this video:

1) Being 800x600 you need to download it locally in the Google video system and then use the Google video player. But this is adviseable as it will then run without an Internet connection. File size is about 150megs. The initial screen will tell you to do "CTRL-ALT" to make it fullscreen - while this is a Windows Media Player command, it also works in the Google player.

2) For projector use, you will want to play it from a laptop that can drive 1024x786 resolution to an external projector also rated at that resolution. Some laptops have native 1280x800 video. Ensure that your projector can display a 1024x786 signal and then set the laptop to send that resolution signal. If you need help with these settings on your laptopme at .

3) The sound quality is good but "low."
Two options: Either bring along adapter plugs to turn a 1/8th inch "Walkman/Ipod type" stereo headphone port into a 1/4" mono headphone plug used in professional audio and PA systems allowing you to adapt your laptop's headphone port into a pro PA system,
OR
bring along any decent set of powered computer speakers, turn up the volume and put a PA microphone straight up to the speaker.

Bright Spots in the Mainstream Media: Honest Coverage of the Crisis

Several heroes have emerged from the corporate controlled mainstream media to cover the election integrity crisis. To date, these courageous journalists are Lou Dobbs of CNN, Carolyn Crier of Court TV, and Keith Olberman of MSNBC. PBS has also contributed to public understanding with its September 1, 2006 program "Block the Vote". Please write to these journalists to commend them for coverning the single most important crisis facing our democracy today.

Jammed machines, rejected ballots, malfunctions that declare the losing candidate the winner...if this were occurring on American Idol, you can imagine the outrage, but it's happening with a far more important American institution: democratic elections. New election machines, as mandated and funded by federal law, may create a new election debacle instead of correcting the old one.

In 2002, Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which allocated $3.1 billion for all 50 states to update their voting systems, following election fiascos in years past.

Some industry analysts suggest that the government implemented the new technology too quickly to the detriment of not only security and performance of the new machines, but the integrity of our democratic process. "Losing candidates are going to have more and more credibility when they say 'Well, I think that the voting machines were rigged,'" Avi Rubin, a computer science professor at John Hopkins University, told NOW.

Rubin performed an analysis of voting machines produced by Diebold, one of the four manufacturers of the county's electronic voting machines. But his recommendation that the machines not be used in elections fell on deaf ears.

To see for ourselves if the new technology was up to task, NOW traveled to Oakland County, Michigan on Primary Day, where election workers encountered more than a few frustrating snags, even when demonstrating the machines for us. In one instance, it took five attempts for the machine to accept a ballot.

We also checked in on other states, including Texas, Iowa, New Mexico, and - you guessed it — Ohio. What we found were alarming scenes of computer and human error, poor results validation, nonexistent contingency plans, and extreme vulnerability to tampering.

These are not isolated cases. In half of 37 primaries held this year, there were technical problems associated with the new HAVA-mandated technology. These included:

* An extra 100,000 votes recorded but never cast in Texas, which was blamed on a programming error.

* A ballot-counting malfunction in Iowa that declared a losing candidate the winner.

* Allegations of discrepancies between votes cast and the corresponding paper trail created by machines in Ohio.

"We are no more certain today than we were in 2000 that we will not have an embarrassing moment and a tragic outcome in this year's election," Deforest Soaries, former Chairman of the Election Assistance Commission, told NOW.

Will new voting machines cure election headaches or cause them? Next time on NOW.

Block the Vote (9/1/06)

Across the nation, states have enacted new laws supposedly designed to prevent voter fraud and avoid election-day debacles. But qualified voters may also be left out in the cold, especially minorities, the poor, the elderly and the disabled. Friday, 9/1/06, this week NOW looks at several states where these new rules may keep voters away from the polls in November. Critics charge that the Bush administration is part of the problem as the U.S. Department of Justice, which is charged with protecting the rights of all voters, has signed off on a number of the new regulations.

In Florida, new penalties that can reach up to $5,000 for registration delays or problems, which forced traditional registration advocacy groups, like the League of Women Voters, to avoid registering voters for a crucial primary.

"The law has done harm because the League of Women Voters, as well as other organizations, were not able to register voters before the primary," said Dianne Wheatley-Giliotti, the president of the LWV in Florida. Florida Rep. Ron Reagan defends the law saying "it's to encourage people to turn them [registration forms] in on time."

In Georgia, a new law requires residents to show photo identification before voting, blocking thousands of people who currently lack the proper ID as well as the means of acquiring it. But are these voting barriers unintended consequences or intended outcomes? Some distrust the true motives of lawmakers.

"This is a concerted effort to make sure that certain people don't have the opportunity to vote, that they don't have the opportunity to participate in their own democracy," Georgia state representative Alisha Thomas Morgan told NOW.

Remarking on the passage of the National Voting Rights Act, Crier interviews RFK, Jr. and Brad Friedman about the serious vote supression problems still plaguing our election system and the way electronic voting has intensified the crisis rather than bring solutions.

Court TV News: Carolyn Crier's "Defending Our Democracy II" (July 11, 2006)

Carolyn Crier reports on Court TV News on the utter disaster and insecurity in our election system. The report focuses on how unauthorized "sleepovers" (where poll workers take voting machines home for days and weeks before the election) invalidate the certification of these machines under state and federal standards and laws. The primary election on June 6th in which Brian Bilbray was declared the "winner" is therefore completely illegal and invalid. Concerned citizens have been hit with at $150,000 bill to even have the paper records examined (and counted) properly and legally for the first time.

Calls To Action for Election Integrity

Let's focus on action. We must create a large scale, non-partisan citizen based movement to take back our elections. Please watch and listen to these videos to find out how.

Help America Vote on Paper

This 18 minute Citizen Call to Action produced by the Ecological Options Network, will give you all the information you need to understand why we face an unprecedented crisis to our democracy from electronic voting. It will help you see the corporate and official corruption that has privatized vote counting and shut down public scrutiny of elections, the deplorable security of the electronic systems, and it explains the steps YOU can take to end these wholly unacceptable conditions and reclaim your democracy.

Progressive Radio Hosts on Elections (Seattle, June 2006)

In this outstanding portion of a forum hosted by AM 1090 in Seattle on June 10, 2006, progressive stars Rachel Maddow, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Laura Flanders and Mike Malloy, make the case crystal clear. We must prepare now for the "fact" of GOP organized voter supression, voter registration purges, electronic election fraud and other crimes against democracy that are already underway. What will we do this time? The answers are fascinating, informative and inspiring (..and funny.)

Election Integrity Documentary Feature Films

Independent filmmakers are telling the truth about election theft and voter suppression that the mainstream corporate media refuses to acknowledge, much less investigate. Here are some of those essential and courageous films. Please let us know of others.

Commander n' Thief

Commander 'N Thief

Available from EDA. Click here for ordering information.

The sordid details of the stolen 2004 presidential election have come to the screen.
Commander 'n Thief, a feature documentary by independent filmmaker Tom O'Brien, reveals how the Republican National Committee, Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell and the Bush/Cheney campaign rigged the 2004 election in Ohio and other states across the nation to install the illegitimate regime of George W. Bush.

Click here to view the "Commander 'n Thief" trailer

Subjects interviewed in this film include Richard Hayes Phillips, Bob Fitrakis, Clifford Arnebeck, Steven Freeman, John Bonifaz, David Cobb, Congressman John Conyers Jr, Matthew M. Damschroder, John Fortuin, Joseph Geller, Alma Gonzalez, Bev Harris, Senator George S. McGovern, Greg Palast, and many more.

Commander n' Thief peels back the national media blackout curtain on:

* The purging of voting registrations for African American soldiers sent to Iraq and Afghanistan
* Double-punching to spoil ballots in heavily Democratic, urban counties of Ohio
* Moving ballots between precincts in rural Ohio counties to switch Kerry votes to Bush
* Rigging electronic voting tabulators across the nation to shift as many as ten million votes

Joan Brunwasser, Election Reform Editor for OpEd News, commends Commander n' Thief as “. . . a must-see documentary”

No Umbrella: Election Day in the City

A documentary film on the 2004 Ohio election fiasco, "NO UMBRELLA - ELECTION DAY IN THE CITY" by Laura Paglin, is coming out soon. Go to NoUmbrella.org for updates on the release.

View a clip from the No Umbrella website (Quicktime)

Nothing hits you in the gut like the in-your-face look at voter disenfranchisement detailed in Paglin's internationally-celebrated film "NO UMBRELLA". A crowd-pleaser at this year's Sundance Film Festival, "NO UMBRELLA" also took an Audience Award at the just-completed Sydney Film Festival and was named "Best Short Film" at the prestigious Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. This 26-minute blockbuster exposes the lack of voting machines, the endless lines, the interminable waiting, and mounting anger and frustration of African-American voters in one of Ohio's poorest neighborhoods -- and the heroic efforts of the area's irrepressible octogenarian councilwoman to put things right.

Media Apathy, Ignorance, and Suppression

Investigate the extent of mainstream media apathy, incompetence and outright supression of the glaring emergency against our democracy posed by election fraud, the stolen elections of 2000, 2002 and 2004 and the ongoing subversion of democracy by corporate controlled media we can expect in 2006 and 2008.

Larry Bensky: Where is the Media on Election Fraud?

Greg Palast: Lost Votes (June 2006)

In his "Armed Madhouse" book tour stop in Seattle, investigative journalist Greg Palast, the first to investigate and expose the massive disenfranchisement of Florida voters in 2000 by Gov. Jeb Bush, reports on the equally appalling disenfranchisement of millions of voters due to voter registration purges throughout the country in 2004. Lack of mainstream media coverage of this chronic abuse of democracy is the subject for Palast's justifiable scorn and ridicule.

Electronic Voting Machine: A Song By Peter Tracy

"Electronic Voting Machine"
(Music and Lyrics by Peter Tracy)

You know Bush stole his first election
Though the popular vote went to Gore
Everybody wondered how he did it
When he stole it again in '04
Yes Bush stole two elections
He stole them and got away clean
He did it with the help of
The electronic voting machine
Chorus
It’s a facist’s secret weapon
It’s a neocon’s wet dream
People, we gotta get rid of
the electronic voting machine

A lot of cities and states have banned them
California should ban them too
‘cuz voting machines can ge easily rigged
That’s what they’re made to do
The neocon’s stated agenda
Doesn’t include you and me
With no oversight and no paper trail
Say goodby to democracy

Chorus
It’s a facist’s secret weapon
It’s a neocon’s wet dream
People, we gotta get rid of
the electronic voting machine

Now we got more nukes than anyone else
It’s an undisputed fact,
That neocons would love to try out
on North Korea, Iran and Iraq
These nuts can’t wait for the rapture –
so they ain’t afraid of World War 3
Those voting machines are controlled by them
And that’s what’s worryin’ me.

(Chorus)
