it’s super tuesday (isn’t every day super, though, really?) and that means you are supposed to vote. with that in mind, does your vote actually get counted? it has been 8 years since the 2000 election and electing officials to office still remains broken and rigged. please watch this very homemade but accurate video showcasing how simple it is to hack and change the results of optical scan vote machines. while the video focuses on recent new hampshire primary, these same optical scan machines are used throughout the country and are becoming the preferred system in california - even though they are still hackable! related links:

perhaps one of the most succint, well worded, and incredibly informative essays i have read covering election fraud in the 2004 election is some might call it treason: an open letter to salon written by mark crispin miller. mark crispin miller’s letter was also published on the huffington post, which has more outgoing links to relevant topics. whichever you choose, it’s a great read. why people are afraid to talk about this (and the 2000 election) is really baffling.
