Many of the revelations brought forth in Hacking Democracy probably would have seemed crazy if I hadn't been living in Florida when it all happened. During the 2002 election the computer voting machines forced me to write in a third party candidate that was supposed to be a choice. If I got one letter wrong in his name, the vote would not have counted. In 2004 I personally witnessed machines that would not accept a Presidential vote for John Kerry, each time the vote registered for Bush. In addition were the endless stories of problems in heavily democratic districts, most of which never made it onto the news. The media appeared to be ovewhelmed by the stories and had to pick the ones that seemed most credible.
Ultimately I was able to confirm much about how the Florida elections were manipulated. Bev Harris was a public figure showing what so many others were discovering on their own. In the end I wrote a novel called Purple State full of stories about what I witnessed. It was made more credible by the work that Bev has done with her organization Black Box Voting. Her efforts and this movie are invaluable to the integrity of our democracy.
