Black Box Voting Video List
# 1 video on altering election outcomes with voting machines: Hacking Democracy
This Emmy-nominated HBO documentary features Black Box Voting's original investigation into the shocking secrecy of the elections industry.
While everyone's watching the VOTING, not enough people are watching the COUNTING!
The action in this video is our best chance to Protect the Count. This video moves a mile-a-minute, so be prepared to hit the "pause" button for a closer look. Every bit of the information is important!
Absentee voting and central counting is taking place in more than a dozen states -- very, very challenging to protect. New information, inside tips on what to look for and actions to take.
New York is the last state standing to resist (mostly) computerized voting.
This video shows why the lever machines protect citizen rights better than the computerized machines, provides the checks and balances and how to watch them, and shows what's coming next for New York.
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS DISCOVER THEIR SECRET BALLOT INVADED :
The first county in the USA to do away with the secret ballot is San Juan County, Washington.
This is a true story. A construction worker who lives in a small cabin in the woods discovers that his ballot -- not the envelope for the absentee, but the ballot itself -- is being traced. This began a three-year odyssey which has led to litigation, local news coverage, and the successful fight to block removal of the secret ballot in million-voter King County. This video -- just an ordinary guy telling a story, is a riveting example of American citizenship. A must see and a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks absentee voting is cool.
THE BALLAD OF STEVE HELLER
Whistleblower prosecuted for revealing voting company lawbreaking
Steve did the only thing a man of his character could do - he
leaked the proof to someone who would know what it was and what to do
with it, Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org. His documents contributed to the decertification of the system, but he was punished..."
The videos below were taken and edited by ordinary citizens. Consider getting a camera yourself, and document election secrecy, dishonesty, or sloppiness this year. It's going to be up to us to regain control of our own elections!
SARASOTA FIBS ABOUT PRECINCT RESULTS
Another reality capture by videographer Jeannie Dean
Jeannie Dean captures four important (and all too common) election problems in this video, taken in Sarasota County, Florida. (1) Misleading answers, or more likely, downright lies, about the ability of the GEMS tabulation system to produce precinct results on Election Night. (2) Political party "observers" who are not observing or asking any meaningful questions (3) Hitting the brick wall when citizens try to observe or hear anything at in the counting room (4) Failure of the media to ask questions or report the news. This reporter spends many minutes flirting with the mayor. "Just put on something maybe from the waist up and maybe lipstick, baby," the reporter says. Yes, really.
MOST WATCHED: (NH) SHAM CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Beyond what you see in this video: Documents obtained by Black Box Voting and New Hampshire citizen Nancy Tobi don't add up to Deputy Sec. State Scanlan's explanation either. And the most important document to support or rebut Scanlan's theory -- the legally required Vice President Write-In report -- is missing.
New Hampshire 2008 Primary Series
The Diebold AccuVote 1.94w -- precisely the machine that altered election results as shown in the film Hacking Democracy -- was chosen to count 81 percent of the votes in the New Hampshire 2008 primary. All memory cards were programmed by the same outfit -- LHS Associates, a small firm with a convicted narcotics trafficker on its senior managment team. One of the computer experts featured in Hacking Democracy, Harri Hursti, went to New Hampshire in September 2007 to warn officials personally about the dangers. Hursti recommended several mitigations. New Hampshire implemented none of them.
New Hampshire chose one of the most manipulatable voting machines in America for the 2008 primary.
Political machinery invested millions into making sure New Hampshire is in a position to choose which presidential candidates can become viable. The New Hamsphire primary BREAKS candidates, culling them from the pack when they do not achieve strategic placement, and MAKES candidates, causing tens of millions in campaign contributions to flow in for those who place well. Black Box Voting spearheaded a citizen investigation, still ongoing, into the New Hampshire 2008 presidential primary election.
Above video provides an overview for how a New Hampshire can be stolen.
Following the New Hampshire 2008 primary, there was a hand recount. First, the ballots were counted (mostly) by Diebold voting machines. Then they were transported to a recount site.
