Fwd: better version from Bradblog: Dan Rather on Voting Security - tomorrow



Thanks to Tom M:




from Brad Blog: Trailer: HDNet's 'Dan Rather Reports' to Run Another
Investigative Report on E-Voting Tuesday In the summer of 2007 they
ran one of the most extraordinary and explosive exposés on the topic
we've ever seen. It included absolutely mind-blowing details on ES&S
iVotronic touch-screens voting machines (the sames ones currently
failing in North Carolina and in Texas and being used in about 15
other states this year) and featuring an astonishing segment with
seven on-camera employee/whistleblowers from Sequoia Voting Systems
charging they were ordered by higher-ups to rig the chads to fail,
only in Florida, on the paper ballots their company made for the 2000
election. You can (and should!) watch that remarkable report ---
picked up by absolutely nobody in the MSM, incredibly enough --- right
here.

This Tuesday, it looks like HDNet's Dan Rather Reports is set to roll
another story on hackable e-voting systems. Here's the :30 second
teaser for their latest...


The premiere showing will be Tuesday, Oct. 26th @ 8pm and is described
this way on HDNet's Dan Rather Report's website:

Das Vote - As Americans prepare to vote-many of them by electronic
machines-millions of Europeans are going back to paper and pencil.
Germany is just one of three European countries to buy electronic
voting machines, only to throw them out after hackers demonstrate
their vulnerabilities. Also, one American's fight against voting
machines in his state. With all the endless hours (upon hours, upon
hours) the network and cable news mainstreamers like Chris Matthews
have found to devote to the horse-race and politicking of these
elections, you'd think they might be able to find more than just 19
seconds to cover the issue that can be, and so often has been, the
deciding factor in so many recent elections. If you'd think that,
you'd be wrong. 19 seconds is all Rather got on this weekend's Chris
Matthews Show to discuss the topic. [Hat-tip Heather at Crooks &
