"Does
the proverbial “Black Box” (read: touch
screen voting machine) jeopardize the sanctity of
the voting process? Governments are installing computerized
voting systems with no paper record to verify accuracy.
Companies that will not allow voters to inspect their
software will control elections. If vote counting
becomes privatized, there may be no way to get it
back. High-tech vote fraud is already a reality."
"INVISIBLE
BALLOTS is an in-depth exposé of all-electronic
computerized voting. Underneath the radar of public
scrutiny, election officials and voting machine manufacturers
are putting into service tens of thousands of touch
screen voting machines that cannot be relied upon
for accuracy or security from tampering. Elections
already using these machines are often plagued by
'glitches' and 'technical problems' that only technicians
working for the manufacturers can solve."
"Voting is swiftly coming under the control of
private corporations using secret software with little
or no independent oversight. These companies and the
people who run them are rife with corruption and insider
alliances. Mysterious election upsets are increasing,
and verified recounts are impossible. If we
are to preserve representative government, the public
must learn the secrets revealed in Invisible Ballots
and take action quickly."
