HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online
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.
the sights and sounds of a bunch of geeks getting all morally outraged over the thought of someone stealing an election after watching a stolen video is buttery thick with irony
My favorite part of politics is when the fanatics come out and ignore the sins of their own party while accusing others. Voter fraud on the part of Democrats was well-documented in 2004, from paying homeless people with crack to go in and vote to signing up dead people as voters. Even GOP voter vans had their tires slashed the night before the election. But of course, only the Republicans cheat!
As is the Dean machine. The left-wing Buckeye blog is even on "Phase II" of recruiting folks to infiltrate GOP get-out-the-vote efforts as a means of discouraging turnout. But of course, only the Republicans cheat!

At least they decided to allow the Americans to know they don't have democracy anymore. How long until this sort of thing becomes censored?
