Democracy is dead!!! Unsecured voting machines in Florida-video

[Dr.Phool]

I got an e-mail this morning. My friend Chris Hrabovsky, who is running for the Florida statehouse. held a meet and greet at a local library. It is also the site for early voting.

These machines are still in use for early voting.

You ain't gonna believe it. Forward this all over the country.

1. Humble request from a Firefox user...

could you re-post this in the Video Forum w/ embedded video link?

None of the youtube links posted on DU seem to work.

[Dr.Phool]

2. I'm operating on Firefox, and it works fine.

[rucky]

3. weird.

don't mean to hijack the thread, tho. I'll figure it out.

:hi:

15. I had the same problem this morning , then I rebooted, works now.

[dkofos]

26. Check to see that Java-script is enabled

I use Firefox and keep mine disabled until I need it.

Like viewing video from u-tube.

6. Democracy is not dead - It does need friends that will point out unsecured

machines and processes. Yeah for Hrabovsky!

:applause:

[Dr.Phool]

8. Repubs are saying

You'll take what we give you. What are you gonna do about it.

These machines were in use for 10 days already, and will be used through today. Two days after the video was shot.

The same thing happened 2 years ago in Pinellas, where a church had the machines stored in the ladies room a week before the election!

11. How about we get a thousand people to sit down on the floor

in Deborah Clark's office on Tuesday? This is disgusting.

[Dr.Phool]

14. I can be there!

[IndyOp]

16. Dr. Phool - I am happy to see you FIGHTING for your elections...

In my neck of the woods (Indiana) we don't have 'voting machines left unsecured at the local library' -- we have SLEEPOVERS -- today, in the vast majority of the state, Republicans will pick up the voting machines and take them home with them until Tuesday morning when they will take them to the polls.

Be sure to council your party officials to do everything possible to detect tampering - including checking the machine audit logs and central tabulator audit logs...

I think the sit-in idea is GREAT!!

[rzemanfl]

7. I just got back from voting for Chris (at least in theory). We should

demand the immediate resignation of Ms. Clark (Jeb's appointee). Jesus Christ, what a mess.

[Dr.Phool]

21. We need Deborah Clark's head on a pitchfork!

[rzemanfl]

28. Okay, too hard to find pikes these days. Has the link to this

video been sent to Keith Olbermann?

[Dr.Phool]

33. Not yet

I did send it to Bill Nelson's Tampa staffer. She'll get it right to him.

[mom cat]

23. The election should be nullified. Got any good lawyers? This alone

should be enough evidence for an injunction that would demand hand counted paper! This is the place to make a stand. Everyone voting there should demand hand counted paper ballots that are under constant supervision and counted the same day under observation.

9. watching now

Love that candidate!

[fasttense]

10. Why does the repuke party pretend to let us vote?

When it is sooooo obvious that the votes are of no import to repukes or to anyone else in this country. So what are the odds your vote is even counted? Seems like we have our American dictator already. What a banana republic we have turned into.

[survivor999]

12. We are DOOOMED!!!!

[Dr.Phool]

13. I just contacted Bill Nelson's staffer on her cell phone.

She'll push it to him. Demand a Senate investigation!

If Katherine Harris wins, we'll know why.

[IndyOp]

17. Keep in mind that tampering isn't necessary if the machines had rigged

software installed at the factory or last year or just before this election. Nelson (and others) should seize one or more machines the night of the election and have a forensic examination conducted by a security information specialist.

Keep pushin!

:kick:

[survivor999]

18. Yes, I agree....

THey should seize some machines and see how they behave.

[rzemanfl]

27. I think this may be part of a plan to make it impossible to prove

who fucked with the machines....

[rppper]

19. paper ballots, paper ballots, paper ballots.........

ask for them...demand them...use them.....you still have the choice here in florida.....

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. i love how the guy with the camera asks the candidate to talk

then just ignores him and points the camera at himself when the candidate starts to talk. what a ham!

[mom cat]

22. Kicking the crap out of this one! You got the smoking gun Phool!

:kick::toast::bounce::bounce::headbang::smoke::smoke::yourock::smoke::smoke::headbang::bounce::bounce::toast::kick:

You hit the motherload! :hug:

[jarnocan]

25. actually I've worked in schools where machines were just left in hallways or gymnasiums

of course we tell the kiddies not to play with them- so that's OK right?

[mom cat]

35. Which machines? The old lever type or the electronic type? There is a

big difference.

[jarnocan]

36. Some were the larger older ones, but

I doubt many schools have improved where they keep them, and unless someone (trustworthy) is hired by each precient- who guards them? The school janitors? They have a lot of work to do. After school lots of people are in and out of buildings for various acvtivites.

[mom cat]

24. Send this to Lou Dobbs.

30. I cross-posted the YouTube video in the video forum.

[Roland99]

31. Boy, I feel safe that our voting systems are Safe and Secured!!

Notice these are Sequoia? The ones allegedly linked to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela?

[mirandapriestly]

32. "If they can be hacked they will be hacked"

that was from Chris Hrabovsky, and he's no troll. (Boy, is he handsome!)

[MGD]

34. It's not as if our Democracy had a history of election fraud and voter disenfranchisement before

e-voting came along. :sarcasm:

[Sancho]

37. Cal and write Deborah Clark and demand her resignation!

38. This deserved 130 recs. It is typical...I'll bet a majority of counties

and localities have piss poor security. There's a model system in Virignia in Norolk. The head of elections has serious security and checks in place. Nobody will get at his machines. The rest o the
state - well, I doubt it.

What a joke they make of our elections. Shame on them.
