Black Box Voting
There is a free downloadable version of the book
Black Box
Voting (in pdf format) on this website.
It outlines all the problems with electronic voting machines and how easily they
are hacked. The author lists 100 instances where votes were counted incorrectly
due to "glitches" in
software."Diebold machines,
and ones like them from other vendors, represent
a major threat to our
democracy. We have put our trust
in the outcome of our elections into the hands of a few companies.
They are in a position to
control the outcomes of our elections, and there's no way anyone can know if
they, or someone working for them, did something underhanded. And
meaningful recounts are
impossible with these machines."
-- Avi Rubin, a computer science professor at
the Johns Hopkins University
There is an activist version of this
website at www.blackboxvoting.org . It outlines how you can
get involved to ensure your vote counts come
November.
