This weekend, attendees at a large cybersecurity conference were invited to try their hands at hacking 30 voting machines. The conference had acquired the machines and set up a “voting machine village“. Every single machine was hacked. The first ones in less than 90 minutes. Some were hacked with no physical contact. And remember that […]
I am delighted that Jill Stein will force recounts to be done in several states that used voting machines that are known to be easily hacked. No, it is not because I think Hillary Clinton actually won the election. That is not the point. The point is that if we know that certain voting machines […]
The Brits need our help to make them look good again. You can do your part by not registering to vote, or just not voting. That way, America can regain its status as idiots. “C’mon America, be the bigger moron!” Indeed, Brexit passed because many Brits voted for it as a protest vote, assuming that […]
Many Republican controlled states have passed voter fraud laws, which make it much harder for people (cough, Democratic-leaning voters) to vote. Electoral Vote has a short, pointed article about voter fraud, pointing out what a fraud it is. Here’s an excerpt (and by excerpt, I mean about half the whole article): From time to time […]
© Joel Pett Special interests want you to be apathetic. The less you know, and the less you vote, the more power they get. Everyone is given the right to vote. If you don’t, you’re just throwing your power away. It takes less time to vote than it does to complain about how corrupt and […]
The Daily Show is freaking brilliant. You absolutely have to watch this. UPDATE: Don Yelton, the GOP precinct chairman interviewed in this video who said that the new GOP-backed Voter ID law will hurt “lazy blacks”, and will be bad for Democrats, has resigned. And it sounds like his resignation was forced on him.
© Jen Sorensen Well, it looks like it backfired. Republican plans to “reform” our electoral college voting system to make it even more unfair – and to boost Republican chances of winning the next presidential election, even if they lose the popular vote – couldn’t stand up to the glare of attention it received. And […]
Fox News has a “voter fraud unit”? Have they no shame?
Progressives are trying to unseat conservative Democrat Blanche Lincoln in the primary runoff in Arkansas (Lincoln was one of the major obstacles standing in the way of better health care reform). And indeed, a recent survey shows Bill Halter ahead of Lincoln 49 to 45%. But now all that is in doubt. Why? Garland County, […]
Last Wednesday Diebold agreed to pay $25 million in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraudulently manipulating its earnings to meet financial forecasts. But the SEC is pursuing additional fraud charges against three former executives, including their chief financial officer, controller and finance chief, and the director of corporate accounting. Some of […]
So, let’s say you’re a county clerk trying to prove that touch-screen voting machines work just fine, that the problems are due to “voter error”. So you decide to give a demonstration. And you’re so sure of yourself that you let people videotape it. Maybe it is a mistake that you decide to first demonstrate […]
The US has a shameful history of low voter turnout, but that hasn’t stopped some people from trying to make it as difficult to vote as possible. Now you can actually see if your name (or the names of your family or friends) have been dropped from the voter rolls, thanks to Project Vote. They […]
