This really needs to be shared around.

Report from Georgia on Voter Verified Paper Ballot, and the bill in the Georgia House

Today was an interesting day. As expected, the Chairman (Powell) of the committee cancelled the hearing this morning as we all arrived. Then they made a fatal mistake - they recessed from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.

This was fatal because we cornered members of the house, dragged them into the meeting room, and demonstrated on laptops how to hack an election. We even used the Cobb County, Georgia (CORRECTED) file we found on the Diebold FTP site to do the demo.

They were stunned. The look of "oh, SHIT" on their faces as we changed Max Cleland's votes to -3,000 was priceless. The display of astonishment as we deleted entries from the audit log, while explaining that this was a "Cathy Cox policy and procedure" which protected the system was laughable.


Every member of the house who saw the demo pledged to bring the bill to the floor for a vote and to support it. Many promised to force the Chairman into putting the bill to a vote.

We have one more legislative day to get this bill passed. We'll be down there tomorrow demonstrating Hack-A-Vote to the members we missed....."END SNIP

UPDATE from Roxanne:
"Now, for the latest news:
I just got off the phone with Mark at True Majority. They are calling in all the activists registered at True Majority to get on Alan Powell and Buddy DeLoach about our legislation." No promises,but progress.

(Posted originally at a website that can't be mentioned here. I have Roxanne's permission to post here. Wanted to clarify. This is really powerful stuff.)
