Ida Briggs sort of mentioned on the Olberman show Re: NH recount!
He said, "A software company owner" or something near to that, no name attached but it was music to our ears :)

She's actually got a RECOUNT going in New Hampshire and THAT is what I call RESULTS.

It doesn't look good so far, they are only off by 15 votes according to Olberman but I don't think they've counted all that many votes.

CONGRATS to Idabriggs!! Way to GO! YOU made it Happen!

6. thanks! that's the title to our movie about electronic voting
you can read about and it and even advance purchase a copy at Buzzflash.com

Here's what I posted as a link yesterday, one of the animations I made for the film --

**

Just wanted to share with you one of the many NEW animations you'll see in our film about Electronic Voting, called "Electile Dysfunction" and now a Premium at Buzzflash - it took us over a year of travelling the country, interviewing stars, experts, and people in the street about not ONLY E-Voting, but your actual RIGHT to vote.

You may be surprised to know that you don't have the rights you thought you had, no matter which way you vote.

So here's one of the more bizarre animations I created for the film, showing what REALLY is going on inside of a DIEBOLD voting machine - don't worry, most of the other animations are funny but not quite so wierd.

We took a completely different course with our movie, since it's a dry subject, we wanted to make sure that our film wasn't just a bunch of talking heads, that format can be like watching paint dry - we think you can be fun and educational at the same time, so we mixed the "incredible" with the "credible" and we have a lot of campy or edgy humor thoughout the DVD.

This flash is in large screen format, just like the film - let me know what you think of "What's inside those Voting Machines?" (Oh, and the little floating head is Wally O'Dell himself in all his glory - turn up those speakers for full effect as well) Take a look and pass it around, something fun to show people online over the Holidays..

click on the image or the link at the end if you want to see more about the movie. (more trailers)

From Take Back the Media.com to you,

Enjoy!

3. I don't know if they will find much
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 05:38 AM by Carolab
except possibly to discover a "pattern" with some types of voting machines. The Kerry exit polls and final polls compared to actual results were awfully darned close in New Hampshire--although I guess there was a suspect "red shift" in actual results compared to exit polls (the early ones released at 4 p.m.). But I remain optimistic since they have only investigated 3 of the precincts requested thus far.

4. exit polls and final polls compared to actual results ...close
If I have this right wouldn't N.H. kinda act as a 'control group' to compare flucutions elsewhere with?

5. exit polls and actual results not close in NH
There is a 9.8 point difference between final exit polls (before "calibration") and actual results. One of the biggest discrepancies was found in New Hampshire.

7. Yep -- I heard that too. Kewl. It was Ida, and hedda-Foil on the
ground, and a bunch of DUers who sent faxes, along with Randi Rhodes listeners too.

DUers did this!! Can you believe it??

That, in turn, got Cobb and Badnerik on the mark in OH.

9. I'm really PROUD
of the hard work of the DU'rs (including present company Eloriel) - funny I've cursed Nader for years but since he's a way in through the back door I guess I'll forgive him for a bit..

and he did save all those people driving Corvairs :)

You guys Rock!

I wish I could do more but spending a year making our movie has worn me out and I'm adding more animations to the master before shipping..

Keep Hammering them!
