Do you want your vote to count next year? Well we had better get active. Bev Harris and the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State held a press conference yesterday. Here is a summary from blackboxvoting.org:

What we have, in Washington State, is this:

We've got the state election director misstating when versions were certified, somebody at the secretary of state's office signing off on software with no NASED number, and when we try to find out what software is actually authorized, we get the buffalo shuffle. We've got a convicted drug dealer printing our ballots, a 23-count embezzler programming our voting system, and our absentee ballots are being funneled through a private company that hires mainly immigrants but also people straight out of prison.

We've now documented 10 states that are using unauthorized software, and internal memos that indicate that five Diebold programmers uploaded these unauthorized programs, knowing that this was not allowed.

Interesting stuff, isn't it? At blackboxvoting there are supporting documents from the press conference. To get involved join the Activism Forum and don't forget to read the book which is also available on the site.

More good news for democracy, E-Voting Undermined by Sloppiness.

This is pretty good too, OHIO E-VOTE MACHINES CAN BE HACKED WITH A PALM PILOT!
