HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-only-slander-if-it's-not-true dept.

prostoalex writes "HBO's controversial special 'Hacking Democracy' on issues with Diebold voting machines is now available in full on Google Video." Covered earlier on Slashdot, the documentary seems to have gathered quite a bit of heat from Diebold in addition to the one that didn't air.

  1. The weird thing about electronic voting by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The weird thing about electronic voting is that after 2000, the Democrats were decrying paper ballots and were all about "modernizing" the system and adopting electronic voting.

    This year, they're decrying electronic voting and all for paper voting because it "leaves a trail."

    Why the sudden 180? Is it just to cover their backs if they fail to gain a majority in the mid-term elections ("We would've won if it wasn't for those darn electronic voting machines") or is it just a pattern of blaming the system whenever they lose an election ("We would've won if it wasn't for those darn paper ballots")? What's the deal?

    The only question in my mind is this: can the citizens of the USA kick up a big enough stink, and fast enough, to produce a fair election in 2008.

    By "fair" you mean "Democrates winning" right?
