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."

    Did somebody just post the subject "don't waste your time" with two links to YouTube videos? I can't even begin to tell you what's wrong with that!

    something as important as voting, which is not actually directly responsible for any deaths.

    "Fortunately, Obama's success this November will be too sweeping for even the usual election-stealing shenanigans to saddle us with four more years of war, corruption, lies, and deepening economy woes."

    Good Grief! I have been chuckling when Republicans portray Obama as a messianic figure and Democrats as his devout followers, but you really see it that way. He's "Jesus Christ Superstar" for the new millennium.

    Let me clue you in:
    - His touch doesn't cure leprosy
    - Flowers do not spring up in his footprints
    - He doesn't even speak that eloquently without a teleprompter.

    This is a presidential election, not the Second Coming.

    (although it does answer the whole "Obama is a Muslim" thing - he can't be a Muslim because, by definition, Messiah's can't worship anyone but themselves.

    I outgrew breastfeeding years ago, and yet I find my brain giving all sorts of signals when I see a nice rack. That doesn't mean the woman attached to them is my Mom.

  7. We DID rig this election. by tjstork · · Score: 2, Funny

    We Republicans did rig this election. You guys always look trying to think we're screwing up votes in Ohio but our strategy has always been to vote for the most radical Democratic candidate in all too many open primaries. Because Democrats have proportional representation, this strategy ALWAYS works.

    We registered Democrat in many states and voted for Obama in droves. Then, when it looked like it was over for Hillary, we supported her just enough to drag the race out and bleed Democrats dry. But at the end, Hillary was always the big problem for us as she can appeal to our bread and butter middle class people but Obama is just another George McGovern. Instinctively for us, Hillary was a bigger problem because when we say a woman is a b---, that means we admire her fighting spirit even as we loath her policies. She has -always- terrified us.

    Now, that Obama and company genuinely believe that a bunch of Republicans who've made a lifetime of supporting free trade really, seriously, crossed the line to support his quasi-socialistic policies is all too good for us. He's not even aware of the danger that he is in come November. Hillary gets it though.

    (1) When does human life begin?

    A. Conception

    B. some time later

    C. I don't know.

    D. It shouldn't matter. The US has already legalised the murder of human life forms for the purpose of self-defense (don't think death row, think tresspassing in Texas). Just kill it.
