COURT TV NEWS: CRIER WIRE
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.

COURT TV NEWS: CRIER WIRE
MAKING YOUR VOTE COUNT (JUNE 20, 2006)


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.
