Hartmann also publishes some of his current themes in articles on the websites truthout, alternet and maybe more.
Since guest Wasserman has followed our tainted election system for years and has a new book coming out, there must be a good deal of info. from him on this seamy subject online.
Wasserman said vote machine tampering in the modern US goes back to 1988 at least, when Bush Sr. adjusted the NH Primary votes to defeat Dole who he was 7 points behind. Then son W in 2000 in Valdosta Co., FL and Kerry in Ohio in 2004. And many of our election computers are 10 years old, they said, and easily tampered with. One test hacker group was able to program/play the theme song of a Michigan Univ. sports team! and Packman! or something, to demonstrate how antiquated and easy to get into the voting machines are. In Ireland, the machines they used for one year had such a bad outcome that they were scrapped. Thom and Harvey agreed we should move to open, hand counted paper ballots and a voting day holiday!
(For a good while I was adding text when posting videos in V & M. But then my OPs would get stuck and not make it to the front page for some reason. Never learned why. That's when I noticed other members selections that made it to the front page often had no text at all, or just a couple lines plus the header and video. So I began doing the same, or only writing one line, and so far so good. Material from the OP poster can be added in the comments area if needed).
*From YouTube, Text of the Video:
Harvey Wasserman, Solartopia/forthcoming book, STRIP & FLIP SELECTION OF 2016: Five Jim Crows & Electronic Election Theft, joins Thom. Nearly 80% of the votes that will be cast in the 2016 general election will be cast on electronic voting machines - which can have their records altered by a governor or secretary of state with just a few keystrokes Election rigging is easier than you think. How we can stop it.
