I am a new member. I just saw the film "Hacking Democracy" and I am in shock! The film really hit home because I live in Volusia County, a.k.a. "Home of the Negative Votes" and I never heard of what happened until now. Why isn't the media covering this? Why isn't there a big investigation going on with Diebold by the federal government? Is our whole government corrupt? What was the most appalling to me was the proven FACT that the discs can be programmed to change the vote count before they are even distributed to the precincts. Since this is so, what difference does it make to count the votes, if the outcome is going to be the same?
I am saddened by what I saw, for I feel that we have lost our democracy. The will of the people doesn't matter, if votes can be changed by big business. I applaud the makers of the film for exposing this corruption, and would like to help in any way that I can to help restore power back into the hands of the people.} |

re "Is our whole government corrupt?" -- well, enough of it, and it's not just the government but also enough of the corporate media.
This is a big swamp that needs draining! (We need a new metaphor that doesn't imply environmental assault is a good thing!) |
