Black Box Voting 2008 Election Protection Toolkit

Gottesser writes "Bev Harris over at Black Box Voting has done everyone a favor and released her 2008 Election Protection toolkit as an ebook. It's like Cliff notes of Bev's 8+ years of experience on the front lines of the modern voting rights movement. The ebook presents succinct information to get individuals actively involved in the full-contact sport that is democracy. The target audience is those who believe that the political process requires more than just showing up to vote once every four years those who know that something's up with those voting machines. You may remember Bev Harris from her Emmy-nominated HBO documentary 'Hacking Democracy.' I've been working on election integrity issues in Ohio for some time now and have met Bev several times. Her work is nothing less than groundbreaking. Please check it out."

    And, who's to say the GOP won't try to rig this election? They got away with it in 2000 and 2004. Surely they believe themselves unstoppable now.

    That's why you need to pay attention. That's why you can't just blindly go to the poll and cast your vote "knowing" it will be counted.

    You're exactly right. Obama's the same old shit in a nice shiny package. He never would have made it to the point he is if he actually represented any sort of change. This is how our elections are fixed.

    Only that does not contradict my statement about her being an extremist. I think you need to educate yourself on her history, and not just fall for republican spin.

    Oh, really? Did you learn that from Obama's buddies "I hate white people" Reverend Wright or Louis Farrakahn, or, did you learn that from "I'm not sorry for being a terrorist", William Ayers?

    While mayor of Wasilla she injected national politics into a small town, removing democratic officials purely because they were democrats.

    I'm sure that must be the absolute truth.

    Do you think managing a state of 670k people for only 2 years, where the federal government owns and manages 65% of the territory, somehow qualifies her as more able than Obama is ludicrous.

    What exactly did Obama do where he was the executive of anything more than 670k people? That's the whole point. Obama hasn't done anything except for get a fancy degree, spend twenty years at a racist, communist, church that despises the USA, and then runs for office.

    The fact of the matter is, while Barrack Obama was running around trying to win a popularity contest a bunch of guys that hate white people, Sarah Palin was balancing budgets first as mayor, and then as governor.

    If Obama loses the next democratic candidate (presumably Hillary Clinton) will hopefully go on the offensive.

    Hillary Clinton can't help but be offensive! :-)
