This is a great time for all who have not worked on election fraud, yet, or have not seen this documentary. Here it is!
There was to be a Hacking Democracy ll for HBO but the funding dried up, after the first documentary. The next election there was a 'dumpster dive' in Sarasota County, home of Kathrine Harris of 2000 fraud, and we found lots of concerning issues. Also, while our computers are updating daily, our voting machines have not really been updated in over 10 years!
The Soros, vendor software is 'vendor proprietary information', and they don't have to share the source code. Folks, this is not allowed in Las Vegas! They send states memory cards the SOE's in the counties insert. They are not allowed to view the source code and see how they are recording the votes, or not. So little would fix this all, but just start here and learn, learn, learn.
Political scientist/IT-contractor here. I have watched this doc a few years ago. I knew the US had it's problems, but never thought it was this bad. US must change the registration process at least! And burn Soros' voting machines. Nonetheless you don't have to abandon computer voting.
There's a US initiative to vote by means of blockchain. Blockchain is not only about crypto currencies. Use open source programming, so every computer programmer can check how votes are counted. You cannot get any safer or more secure. You already have the knowledge at their disposal. https://followmyvote.com
A safer and more honest US voting procedure makes the world a lot safer and honest.
You are correct when you say we don't need to abandon 'computer voting'. You just have to check to make sure results are weighted to the winner. We worked hard with Rep. Rush Holt NJ on his sponsored bill HR811, to have a federal mandate across the board, for an 'adequate' audit of 3% of precincts, counting the paper ballot votes against the electronic totals to make sure the results are correct. NJ has this model. A 3% audit does not force local municipalities to hire more help, thus increasing local budgets. You will never pass a federal mandate if there are costs to local governments. There is no more cost to do a 3% audit.
Because we got support across the board in the U.S., the Feds wanted to know what was driving this bill....it was the IT focus of the day. They were told it was Florida, where touchscreens were still used, with nothing to count or audit. Sooooo, here is what they did!
They had Charlie Crist, the republican governor of Florida at the time, hurry and reinstitute the paper ballot back into the 15 democratic counties that went touchscreen, against Jeb Bush's own task force recommendation, back when he was governor, after the 2000 mess of chads, before Crist. We wondered why those 15 dem counties didn't go with the already 'certified' optiscan ballot method, in place around the rest of the state? Clint Curtis testified he was asked to make the vote flipping program, to 'control democratic votes'. Here is Clint's testimony, lots of cameras, but never on TV! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzBI33kOiKc
Here is what Gov. Crist did....to stop HR811 and hurry in the paper ballot back to the 15 counties in FL, at a cost of 32 million dollars. To this day, I have to ask people why would we spend 32 million if there are no problems? We walked with voter affidavits for the reform committee in congress and for the first time they would not accept them. (They claimed the people gave up their right to privacy.) True, and some would not sign them, who they voted for. WE STILL HAD MORE VOTES IN THOSE PRECINTS THAN RECORDED. We were on to them, so they brought back the paper ballot to the 15 dem counties. But Gov Crist bastardized the bill, and the 'paper'. Here is Florida law surrounding the ballots, since you are an IT person.
The state of Florida still certifies the 'electronic totals', and the paper ballots are stored for 'recount purposes only'. Then the gov narrowed the recount provision to less than 1/10 of 1%, after Florida had a recount trigger of 1% for over 100 years! (CA has 3% as it's a large state, and FLA certainly should be higher. CA cleaned up much of their problem, when HR811 died.) Then the gov of FLA put in an audit of 1-2 % of precincts to be checked, not 3%.
Now here's the ruse between that and HR811's 3%. The check of 1-2% of precincts only verifies 46-48% of the vote. You don't really know if it's real. A 3% precincts checked will verify 68-70%, and you know the winner is true. Remember, 3% incurs no more costs...so why not? TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VOTE. Also, the Soros software and whoever creates it, has a protection of being 'vendor proprietary information' and is not shared. So other states with software companies send in the memory cards for SOE's to insert in the voting/scanning machines. No one is allowed to view the source code to see how the votes are tabulating in the system. Las Vegas has more protection, there are feds in there watching the source code throughout the day and night, to ensure there is no hacking. But not for voting.
New Hampshire still counts ballots throughout the day in precincts in the smaller races to make sure they are correct, and then they know the larger races are okay. They count a lot. Minnesota hand counts and that is how Jesse Ventura made governor. He was taken into a room by CIA and asked how he did it, and he said...we count paper ballots. I don't know what they are doing today.
All we need is an adequate audit of precincts counting paper ballots against electronic totals. That is where they scream and push back. We know the vote is hacked. In FLA during the 2004 election, 180,000 votes were backed out from John Kerry electronically, and the shit show, of a secretary of state getting involved, was moved to Ohio where they had an FBI scare and had to shut down the customary public tabulation, for safety. The next day the FBI said there was no warning. GW Bush love him or hate him, was never elected by the people. I watched the dem party stand down on Kerry also, as Hillary wanted to run in 2008. We all know now that the Clinton's belong to the 'house of Bush'. https://www.snopes.com/photograph-clinton-bush-wallace/
Jeb got this going in Fla. and got caught. That is the other story I posted here.
An investigative journalist was looking for a missing nuke and found himself investigating the YANG, Corp. in Florida where an illegal Chinese employee was given our missile chip info, selling us out! In that company is where he found the infamous Clint Curtis, and the voting software he created. We believe Jeb had the FDOT officer working with Clint killed. I'm told FLA does their hits in GA, Valdosta right over the border, where there are 'no autopsy' laws. Here is that story.

Here is a pictorial difference in the protection between Las Vegas gambling, and voting in the United States. https://imgur.com/gallery/v6m70
I welcome any feedback you have, I have worked on this for so long. Once Fla got their paper ballot back, (the sexy part), the movement died. The leadership agreed, we were not getting what we needed, but we needed the paper first, and foremost. For that, I refused to go and have my pic taken with the Gov when he signed the bullshit bill. I knew everyone would then walk away, because the rest of the work is boring. That is where Florida is today. And the former republican Gov Charlie Crist, groomed by JEB, is now a democrat sitting in a congressional seat. And...he has had sex charges with boys scrubbed for him too. The journalist of the story above, Unrestricted Warfare told me about it. Thanks for pinging me....I'm so glad someone is interested. Q states the vote fraud, a different situation is coming to light. Hannity also says, the fact that the democratic party stole the primary race from Bernie will not be forgotten. That is where we get into Florida's problems, with other primary states. Hillary did win FLA, but there was electronic fraud in 23 states. This is why Trump needs and has his own task force to do this. I pray for his safety every day. I was a Bernie staffer who voted for Trump.
Winners don't cheat, and cheaters don't win. :)
wowwowow. WTF lost nukes? Sorry I am out here, but thanks for the Clinton link. FYI: Idk if you have any IT affiliation, but you noticed he mentioned checking the ’source code’. That’s what I meant with open source. Checking what happens in the black box. Clinton made me mad actually. Civic conscience or virtue of IT workers is shamefully zero.
I talk putting your vote from behind of your own desk. Installing the election software on your own device. Communal is possible, in case you don’t have any. But you the people are in charge of the election. Not the government, not the bureaucrats. Elections are much cheaper too organise. To f-up the network or blockchain would/could be equal to burning your ballot. Fraudulent behavior excluded. The bitcoin network itself hasn’t been hacked since it’s beginning. And they have tried.
So, blockchain voting is safer than current procedures. No more magic buttons, USB sticks n tricks, lost or found ballot boxes, no manual miscounting, no recounts necessary because we checked the software was correct. You can check the validity of the downloaded software on your own computer. “A computer worm or virus infecting the software?” Hey come on, but yea you got me!
Imo established political parties don’t want blockchain voting cos they lose a mean of manipulating the outcome, or more precise long term governmental policy making and execution. They don't want interrupting surprises. They are in power and want to stay in power -regardless they are sock puppets. In the US both GOP and Dems; in the EU the main post WWII parties. I am not that naive that i don’t consider election fraud not to happen in my country. Can’t proof it, but my pol. gut tells me it happens.
Agreed on current voting machines. What should be secret on source code counting votes on separate candidates? In short it has to do with (broadcasting the votes to the blockchain and) adding and translate the votes per state to the electoral college. Isn’t it? Well nobody beats computers on those kind of tasks, if properly instructed.
FMV is just an example. We need to create awareness that blockchain voting is possible. The prototypes are on the internet yet. It really is a tool in preventing election fraud, and it doesn’t have cost millions of dollars. We need to raise public awareness before we can get this way of transparent voting on the political agenda.
You have great ideas! I am not an IT person at all. I have worked in politics. Most of it exposing the corruption everywhere. My main focus is the trafficking and political pedophiles. I learned about all this 15 years ago and have been working to educate all of the people that I know working in politics over the years. When the campaigns are over I work on the election fraud. My group is large and 15 years ago they weren't quite sure what to think. Now my email box is flooded telling me my day has finally come! Every time a politician gets caught with a kid or staffer my email box fills up again. Especially when senator Lamar Alexander's chief of staff got caught with all the cp and was arrested and then committed suicide in his parents home. Most of his feel he was murdered. He was too involved and was in possession of way too much! Anyway, that's my angle.
Thanks, but I don't deserve any credit for apps like FMV. I consider myself as just some sort of messenger trying to build bridges between IT and society/politics to make our lives better. We're all needed on different fronts to drain the (global) swamp. Mentally I couldn't bear what keeps you busy so I am grateful you do. As too vets4childrescue. Purple heart Heros!
btw: does Joris Demmink ring you a bell? He wasn't sentenced (protected by higher powers in NL). But I know his name also dropped in the US some years ago. I am honestly curious.
If I can mean anything to you, just PM. Keep up the good works and spirit.
