One man's private, sole source company programs 81% of the election in New Hampshire, 100% in Connecticut, almost all of Massachusetts and most of Vermont. Never before seen video of the under-the-radar elections contractor John Silvestro as he tangles with master security expert Harri Hursti.For the full version of the hack see the 80 minute HBO film "Hacking Democracy"

This kind of activity only goes on because we allow it.I dont remember giving "the ok" to ANY private corporation to handle these types of affairs.This type of situation can only be resolved by an entire flush of the congress all the way to the top.The people of this country have devolved into spineless potato couch cowards.This kind of crap didnt happen 150 years ago because people actually gave a shit.

So, what do we do? I've seen "hacking democracy". I would like to do something about it, but one thing that is missing from these videos is telling us what to do about it. Are there any work arounds until something is done?

Talk about it. Tell everyone you know. Learn how to set up a petition. Think "Voter Responsibility."
Learn the chain of custody for voting--use that for elections and nothing else. It's a few thousand trees, but stick to paper ballots and hand-counting. Establish accountability every step of the voting process. Sealed ballot boxes, as opposed to cardboard with tape. Just spread the word, read up on the process, and search for others who have the same goal. YOU can save this country, in part.

The German masses were kept in the dark in much the same manner as Americans. They were told, "The commies are coming the commies are coming" after their Reichstag fire.

I'm sure you meant to say become a good little NAZI.

Why do you suppose IBM RAN away from the voting machine business? Could they have been afraid of getting caught and it affecting their other business?
Why did they 'lose' the magnetic cards in New Hampshire?
Have you ever heard of the "Oops Business Model"? It's all around you just look.
Oops, we 'forgot' to close down supply lines! Oh darn, the war will have to be extended and we'll be forced to milk another few billion dollars! What a shame; except on our balance sheets.
