Before you go and vote today it might worth your time to watch this show from HBO. It is scary how easy it is for people to screw with these computer machines. It is also scary how in bed these companies seem to be with the republican parties.<\/p>\n

There is seriously no way I would vote on either a touch screen machine OR a optical scanner machine. They all suffer the same problems and have the same companies behind them changing the votes.<\/p>\n

This is one of several situations that computers are not the answer. People need to look at the votes. They need to be counted out in the open.<\/p>\n

FOR GODS SAKE THE TOTALS ARE STORED IN AN ACCESS DATABASE IN PLAIN TEXT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN THE DB FILE AND CHANGE THEM!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is truly unbelievable. I mean just unbelievable.<\/p>\n

*EDIT*
\nHBO just put the show up on Google Video<\/a><\/p>\n

and I found this on the blackboxvoting.org<\/a> site:

\nI thought this was pretty interesting too:

*EDIT*
\nFound this on MSNBC : http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/15590530\/<\/a><\/p>\n

there is a really interesting paragraph in there:<\/p>\n

Election officials in Delaware County, Ind., planned to seek a court order to extend voting after an apparent computer error prevented voters from casting ballots in 75 precincts there. County Clerk Karen Wenger said the cards that activate the machines were programmed incorrectly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those cards are the same cards that they show being modified in the Documentary and changing the election results.<\/p>\n

*EDIT*
\nWow. Now there is video of them putting these cards in people’s personal laptops and such:
